Given the word GRAMMES, this letter scale is made for use in France. The scale of 250 grams has a stripe of measure per ten grams. The numbers are on the left and right of the scale. Left 50, 100, 150, 200, 250. Right 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, 220, 240. The scale model is very similar to previously shown letter scales, see for example this one little Rowenta and certainly this one Rowenta with exactly the same division on the scale, only with GRAMM instead of GRAMMES.
The glass plate measures 62 x 104 millimeters. The maximum scale height is 100 millimeters, the letter tray is 45 millimeters round. The scale housing is 28 millimeters wide. This letter scale with glass base weighs 300 grams itself and can therefore also be used as a paperweight.
