advertising Rictus letter scale
 

This letter scale advertises ROBERT KLOESER from AACHEN in Germany. Robert Kloeser was active in import and export. Robert Kloeser lived from 1928 to 2017, from when to when the company existed is unknown to me.
The scale is a Rictus by Philipp Jakob Maul from Hamburg in Germany. At the back of the scale house is advertising for the candy brand FAAM. FAAM - DIE ROLLE FÜR ANSPRUCHSVOLLE is the slogan (FAAM THE ROLL FOR DEMANDING PEOPLE). The weighing range is 250 grams. This page contains the advertisement Rictus of DE FAAM the candy factory from Breda in the Netherlands.
Originally, the Rictus (letter) scale is a model of Philipp Jakob Maul from Hamburg in Germany. Later this model was also made by Jakob Maul from Zell. The Rictus has been shown before on this website, see Rictus with brass saucer, jubilee Rictus, Jakob Maul Rictus and also the black Rictus. The Robert Kloeser Rictus does not bear a Maul logo, the name Rictus is also missing, and the D.R.P. patent number 384478 is not on it either.
Rictus scales come with a flat round letter plate, with a round letter plate with a central groove for rolls, with a brass saucer, with an aluminum saucer holder plus separate aluminum saucer, and designed as an egg scale with an egg cup.
Below some pictures of this Robert Kloeser Import - Export letter scale.

There are more Rictus scales on which advertising is made. I know:
- DE FAAM BREDA (stamped in) with at the back: FIJN FAAM FANTASTISCH (stamped in);
- RADIO SABA RADIO a blue scale with a gold-colored ornate sticker;
- ROBERT KLOESER IMPORT EXPORT AACHEN (stamped in) with at the back: FAAM DIE ROLLE FÜR ANSPRUCHSVOLLE (stamped in);
- EMIL BOHLIN - GEFLE (punched to the outside);
- Krups-Rictus (punched to the outside) and below this also D.R.P. 384478, this was on a brass egg scale version;
- 1881 A.S. 1931 on a separately arranged elliptical plate, it is a scale made on the occasion of a 50 year jubilee.
Presumably, there are more versions with advertising.
