This acrylic letter scale is an unique specimen. The scale of measurement is rather peculiar: drill dots in stead of stripes. The weighing range is 100 grams. Up to 50 grams there is a large dot for each ten grams, in between values of five grams are marked with a small dot. Above fifty grams every ten grams is marked with a drilled dot, the final one at 100 grams. Although this letter scale looks good it is not very useful for everyday use because it lacks sharp and easy to read stripes.
