keychain and letter scale
 

This is both a keychain and a letter scale. It's from France. The back says "MODEL DEPOSE" without accents. The back of the thin balance arm is marked: LA ROMAINE DE ST. ETIENNE. I don't know if this is an advertisement or a scale brand. The front of the thin balance arm has a scale from 0 to an illegible 20. The measurement scale is divided by gram. This small letter scale is only suitable for determining whether a letter weighs more, equal, or less than 20 grams. The total length is 65 millimeters.
Below are some more images of this letter scale & keychain.
