curved scale | This is a letter scale with a distinctive curved frame. The frame is decorated with a lot of curlicues. No mark or logo. The enameled chart shows the figure 8, maybe this is the model number. The unit of measure is abbreviated to Grm. This capital initial could indicate a German origin. The scale with the turn-over pendulum has two ranges, up to 100 and up to 500 grams. The higher range is used when the pendulum is turned down. The chart of 100 grams shows a stripe per gram. The 500 grams chart has a stripe per five grams. At the back of the pendulum arm an extra little pendulum disk is attached. Below some more pictures of this letter scale. | back of the scale |
