Scale King letter scale
 

This paper weight is also a letter scale. By unscrewing the top and putting it upside down on the little cylinder which is pressed outwards by a spring. Naturally the Scale King is a relative of the Scale Queen. I don't know whether or not the manufacturer of the King is the same as the one of the Queen. Also, the King is allied to the diabolo. The scale has a capacity of eight ounces. On the aluminum cylinder a stripe of measure is given per half ounce. The chart is difficult to read. The scale could be adjusted by the screw at the bottom of the base. This letter scale was delivered in a nice box together with a leaflet on which a short directions for use are printed. Below some more pictures of this letter scale.
