The M.I.K.A. letter scale for household use was made in the Netherlands. Mr. Rein Kok informed that M.I.K.A. is the abbreviation of Metaal Industrie Kamp Apeldoorn. (Metal Industry Kamp Apeldoorn). And also the following: the firm was located at Langeweg 22-24 and was closed down in about 1960. They produced household utensils, like cheese-slicers and ironing-boards. This weighing scale has two rather odd weighing capacities: 110 grams andn 530 grams. Below some more photos of this M.I.K.A. scale.
