mini letter scale
 

This little letter scale misses a weighing plate. More old scales have this defect. Yet, it is an interesting little model. The frame is made relatively light-weight. It's folded out of tin. It is a nickel-plated mechanism with a scale up to 50 grams. The old weighing limit of 15 grams is separately engraved on this chart. There is a stripe per gram. Below some more pictures of this little scale.
