This is a letter scale on which no brand can be found. However, a VI mark has been filed on the bottom of the upright and at the bottom of the carrier of the brass letter plate. The model has been shown before, see for example this one Holsboer and also this letter scale from Becker & Buddingh. The weighing range of the letter scale shown here is somewhat larger, namely 250 grams. The chart has three divisions: per ten grams, per five grams and per gram, the latter from 0 to 150 grams. From 150 to 200 grams the scale is divided into two grams and finally from 200 to 250 grams the scale is again divided into five grams.
This letter scale is 30 centimeters high. The letter plate measures 10.5 by 10.5 centimeters.
Below some more pictures of this letter scale.
