This solid letter and parcel scale is made by Jakob Maul from Germany. The two weighing ranges are 250 grams and 5 kilograms. Previously shown are the more modern Triatax and the older, ssolid weighing scale with a lower maximum weighing range the letter scale. Both these postal scales have three weighing ranges (Triatax, tri = three) The here presented firm letter and parcel scale does not have a rotating lever for the counterweight, and therefore has only two weighing ranges. Further information is already given at the two other weighing scales mentioned above. Below some pictures of this 5 kilograms letter and parcel scale.
