This letter scale is already described in detail, see this letter scale. The small difference is that the Dutch postal rates are on the top plate of this letter scale, or rather were, because they largely disappeared with a detergent. A real risk of cleaning older printed top plates of postal scales. The weighing ranges are 100 and 250 grams.
Below some more pictures of the letter scale.
