letter scale

This letter scale has the JM logo of Jakob Maul at the rear of the cast iron part of the frame. The chart is clear and simple. It is a flat aluminum strip with black stripes and figures at a white background. The ranges are 50 grams and, with the pendulum downwards, 250 grams. In the range of 50 grams there is a division stripe per gram. The range of 250 grams is subdivided by stripes per 5 grams. The rotatable foot of the base is made of steel strip. The mechanism and plate are chromed. The arm of the pendulum has the folloeing texts: NIET VOOR HANDELSDOELEINDEN (Dutch translated: not to be used for trade) and NON VERIFIE PAR L'ETAT (French translated: not calibrated by the government). This frame also has the characteristic Jakob Maul bend in the horizontal and vertical part of the black frame. Below some more photos of this letter scale.
