There's a stamp "29 5 LW CMC". Metal channel length is 30". Width is 1/2". I tried my best to get an accurate measurement of the bottom shoe and it appears to be 1-3/32" but hard to be certain. Hope I provided enough details. Thanks in advance

Hey there. I am sure we can help; but first, can you show me photos of the underside of the metal channel? Some balances from the west coast have a special design we must account for. We'll do our best to help from there.

Thanks for getting back to me. This is likely either an S380-30 or S385-30 Channel Balance, depending on the depth of the bottom nylon shoe. See below. Measure your old balance's shoe depth to see what matches best. For a stamp option choose 2950.
