The maker of this scale from Germany is Braunschweiger Metallwaren GmbH. The model was sold with the name Danas Junior for household and office. This scale is probably from the fifties. The weighing range is a bit strange, namely 300 grams subdivided per five grams. The rectangular slightly curved shape of the weighing platform is striking. The plateau can be placed in two ways, the more stable placement is as much as possible directly above the mechanism. The reading line is quite minor. The height is 14 centimeters, the letter plateau is 8.2 cm square.
Below some more pictures of this German letter scale.
