letter scale, unknown maker
letter scale with dish
 

This is an old scale from Germany or Austria, the maker is unknown. The range of 130 grams is a bit strange. The scale is well made, various parts are numbered 18. The scale has a stripe for each gram up to 120 grams. In addition, there are stripes per five and per ten grams. The three-legged base is made of magnetic cast steel. The dish and most parts are made of brass. This decorative foot shape can already be seen in this one letter scale with curled foot and also in this one letter scale with decorative base. Both of these scales have a range of 250 grams.
The dish is 6.7 centimeters round, this scale is only 21.5 cm high.
