letter scale

This American handheld letter scale is made of aluminum. The scale of measurement is subdivided per half ounce up to 5 ounces. Above this, per ounce up to 10 ounces. Above this, per 2 ounces till 16 ounces = 1 Lbs. Also at 24 ounces a stripe of measure is presented. The limit is set at 2 Lbs. The postal rates are printed on this scale. The rate for letters of 4c per oz. was valid in the period August 1 1958 till January 7 1963. This sufficiently puts a date on this letter scale. This letter scale has a firm letter clip. This clip also has a hook part, easy to use for weighing little parcels. Below some more pictures of this aluminum letter scale.
