This letter scale was made by Balanta from Sibiu in Romania. The 100 grams scale is subdivided per five grams. On the back is the logo and the name Balanta. The transverse foot is secured to the scale frame with a nut. The scale is 17.2 centimeters high, the diameter of the letter plateau is 7.9 cm.
The Balanta letter scale has many similarities with the replica letter scale of Gottlieb Kern & Sohn, see the photo at the bottom of this page and the page with the Kern replica letter scale.
