letter scale made in Japan
 

This colorful letter scale originates from Japan. I don't know the maker. It is a special design with the size of a credit card. The black metal part is perforated probably by using laser cutting. The scale with stripes and numbers is also cut out of the black metal surface. The green letter clip functions properly. The counterweight is nicely designed as a double yellow triangle. The red suspension strip has the cut out text LETTER SCALE. The scale of 100 grams has a limited number of stripes. From 0 to 5 grams each gram has its stripe of measure. This is followed by a stripe per 5 grams up to 30 grams. Above this the values 40, 50, 60 and 100 grams each have a stripe. Near the 100 still is a dash without denomination. It proved to be this dash is for the value of 80 grams. The red, black, yellow and green parts are magnetic. The own weight of this letter scale is 21 grams. The included four pencils with eraser are entirely in the style of this letter scale.
Below some more pictures of this beautiful letter scale.
