paper scale, maker H.L. Becker
This paper scale comes from H.L. Becker in Brussels, Belgium. That company is primarily known for its high-quality laboratory and pharmacy scales. That the company also supplied paper scales was new to me. The storage case seems intended for another, more common model of paper scale. The pairs of templates do fit this paper scale; the dimensions of 7.06 x 3.54 cm and 7.07 x 7.08 cm result in areas of 24.99 and 50.05 square centimeters. This matches the scale. The paper balance is 13.0 cm high and 11.5 cm wide. The storage box measures 15.4 x 11.6 x 2.5 cm.
A stand was not included with this paper scale; it must be held in the hand during weighing.
The model shown here is unique compared to previously shown paper scales, see for example this one paper scale for a more commonly used model. There are more referring links on the page of this paper scale by Jakob Maul. The paper scale from Lhomargy also has a completely closed surface; more luxuriously it has a stand included.
Below are some more images of this Becker paper scale.
