letter opener, letter scale and ruler | This letter scale bought in the USA, was made in Hong Kong. The design was made by Frede Duelund Nielsen from Rödovre, Vanlöse, Denmark. Earlier, this letter scale was described in detail at the page of the Linex. A similar design was presented at opener & scale. This scale also functions as a letter opener and as a ruler. The scale has rotating beads at the five weighing limit values: ¼, ½, 1, 1½, and 2 oz. The utility is limited. The possibilities to clamp a large range of thicknesses are too restricted. It's good-looking and has proven to be a very suitable commercial give-away. A psalm line is printed on this | a letter heavier than ½ ounce |
specimen. At the back the brief directions for use are moulded in the plastic, they are hardly readable. The paper leaflet just sums up the three functions. The value of ¼ oz. is not mentioned at the leaflet. A description of the operation is not given. The owners themselves have to discover how to use the scale, the drawing is an aid. Below some more pictures of this letter scale.
