letter scale
This balance for weighing mail comes from England. The maker is unknown, there is no name or logo on it. On the base plate is a plate with the barely readable text:
INLAND LETTER RATES
NOT EXCEEDING 2 ozs 1½D
For every additional 2 ozs ½D
This domestic letter rate applied in England from May 14, 1923 to May 1, 1940.
This letter balance has six weights: 8 oz, 4 oz, 2 oz, 1 oz and 2 of ½ oz.
Below are some more images of this postal balance from England.
