Salter No.30 letter scale
 

This red letter scale is made by George Salter & Co. Ltd., West Bromwich, Staffordshire, England. The letter scale bears the number 30. At the lower edge of the chart hidden by the front cover, is printed: Reg: No. 783591. This British Design registration number probably dates from 1933. Yet this letter scale is not that old. The British inland postal rates at the front cover are from the period January 1956 till October 1957. Below some more pictures of this letter scale.
