This is an old brass pocket scale. It has no mark or logo. The shape of the letter clip is striking. The pendulum is decorated with three circles made of many short stripes. The range is 100 grams. Till 50 grams a stripe per 5 grams is given. Above 50 grams there's a stripe per 10 grams. This pocket scale looks strongly like the nickeled brass letter scale, but a closer look reveals several minor differences on all parts. Below some more pictures of this handheld letter scale.
