Lhomargy paper scale
 

This paper scale comes from France and was made by Lhomargy from Draveil, which is located in the Seine et Oise (S&O) region. Lhomargy is the continuation of the former Lhomme & Argy. The scale on this paper scale goes up to 200 grams per square meter when using the largest paper cutting templates (7 x 7 cm) and up to double, 400 grams per square meter when using the smaller size paper cutting template (7 x 3.5 cm). This paper scale, if partially disassembled, fits in the luxury storage box. The height of the set up paper scale is 16.6 centimeters. The scale foot is 5.85 cm round. The storage box measures 19.5 x 16.0 x 3.5 cm.
Previously more paper scales have been shown on this website, see the American T.M.I., the Dutch H.A. Büchel, the Dutch van der Korput, a German paper scale, als from Germany a large paper scale by Ph.J. Maul, a large Dutch paper scale of van der Korput, a medium-sized German scale of Jakob Maul, a special small paper scale of Jakob Maul from Germany, a large German scale from Louis Schopper, a special English paper scale of Paper Life Limited, and a modern Dutch paper scale of Messmer Büchel.
