BUDDY letter scale

For the greater part this hand-held letter scale is made of aluminum. Only the blackened parts are made of magnetic steel. The name of the model, the name of the maker, the postal rates and the chart are stamped in the aluminum. The range is 1.5 Lbs. A letter can be clipped. This clip partly is hook shaped, so one could also attach something with a string to the Buddy scale. For instance a parcel. The Air Mail rate of 8c per oz. was valid in the very short period of 1944 - 1946.
