letter balance
 

This balance is a letter scale with recesses in the wooden base for the three weights. The weights are 15, 25, and 50 grams. The balance has no brand name or logo. Also considering the shape of the lacquered wooden base and the black edge of the wood, this balance is very likely from France. The base length is 185 millimeters, the base width varies between 89 and and 100 millimeters. The height of the unloaded balance is 88 millimeters.
