letter scale | This letter scale has a typical curved frame. The curvature of the horizontal part of the frame is characteristic. The curl in the vertical part of the frame is shown at other designs as well. The scale does not have a name or a logo. The letter scale has a turn-over counterweight. This results in two weighing capacities: 100 and 500 grams. The 100 grams chart is subdivided per gram. The chart of 500 grams shows a stripe per five grams. The brass plate with the cylindrically shaped lowering is referred to as a W-shaped plate. Below some more pictures of this letter scale. | back of the scale |
