letter balance in grams
 

This letter balance has no name, brand or logo. Without a doubt, this balance originates from England. It is a simple balancing mechanism with a square plate for the letters and a round plate for the weights. The wooden base is on three flat round feet. The four weights are 10, 20, 30, en 50 grams. This letter balance thus can be used up to 100 grams. The weights are well stackable.
Below some more pictures of this letter balance.
