This rare letter scale has a mythological dragon as a frame. I don't know who made it, nor when. Most likely the scale was made in Germany. This letter scale has two weighing ranges: 50 grams and 250 grams. The 50 grams scale has a stripe of measure per each gram. The 250 grams scale has a stripe per each five grams.
Until now I have only seen this letter scale with these 50g and 250g ranges.
Below some more pictures of this beautiful letter scale.
