FLY AWEIGH

The American John McMillan designed a pleasing combination of a bird mobile and a letter scale. The bird is a goodlooking object. You don't have to look for your letter scale, it's always good visible and ready for use. The design is protected by an American patent since April 20 1999. Three different birds are available: the pelican presented here, the bald eagle and the great blue heron. Still for sale at 44.50 US Dollars plus S&H. This magnificent pelican is protected with an American patent with the number US 5,895,893. Besides this pelican this letter scale is also for sale in the form of the bald eagle and also in the shape of the great blue heron. This letter scale is made from thin stainless steel plate and is suspended by thin stainless steel wires.

The contours of the bird are accentuated by dotted lines of minimally etched dimples. At rest the white lacquered pelican hangs as a mobile with a weight of two ounces in the letter clip. A little pull at this clip starts a graceful movement of the wings. The weighing range is 3 ounces. When weighing a letter the weight is first removed from the clip. Above all it is a good-looking design. Below some more pictures of the Fly Aweigh Pelican.
