The aluminum chart has become heavily corroded and is practically unreadable. With a lot of effort the lower chart reads 250. The upper chart probably reaches up to 50 grams. The plate got lost. The frame is decorated beautifully at the front and at the back. The head of the leveling screw has the text LUDIE. I don't know whether or not this is the name of the maker. Below some more pictures of this letter scale. | letter scale |
