The maker of this German letter scale is unknown to me. The basis is striking: the sections of strip steel rounded on one side have more bends than strictly necessary. The 250 grams scale has a short stripe for every five grams and a long stripe for every ten grams. The numbers on the scale are limited to 0, 15, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250. The unit of measure grams is indicated with Grm. The scale height is 23 cm, the foot measures 13.5 x 11.7 cm, the letter plateau is 8.6 cm round.
Below are some more images of this letter scale.
