On the front of this Rictus letter scale is a logo and the name Enzian. The logo is a stylized alpine flower: the Gentian.
When asked, Mr. Dieter Maul from Germany told me that the Enzian company was a Seifenfabrik, therefore, a soap factory, of G.A. Bazlen located in Metzingen in Baden-Württemberg in Germany. The company started in 1857, and closed in 2016.
The Rictus scale has been used more often for advertising purposes, see the list on the Burnus page. The following names can be added there: Emil Bohlin Gefle, and Mr. Dieter Maul also gave me the names Seca and Unibaryt.
The weighing range is 250 grams. There is no Maul logo on this letter scale, the D.R.P. number 384478 is also missing.
