letter scale made in France | This letter scale is made in France. Exactly when and by whom, I do not know. This letter scale model can be found on images in French catalogs around 1920. Until when the letter scale was made is unknown to me.
This scale has a weighing range up to 200 grams. The scale is subdivided per five grams. A mark lacks at 35, 55, 65, 85 and 95 grams. Above 100 grams there is a subdivision per ten grams, excluding an additional mark at 105 grams.
There are versions with ranges of 100 grams, 200 grams, 300 grams and 350 grams.
