Leonal letter scale
 

The leaflet of this letter opener, ruler and letter scale mentions the name Leonal. It also states that a patent was applied for, whereas it is obvious a plain straight on copy of the original Linex. The only minor difference is the material of the rotating beads. Here brass is used in stead of the usual plastic. The scale has an advertising imprint for Mr. Petrasch & Co., Dornbirn, Austria. Below some more pictures of this letter scale, ruler and letter opener.
