AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered: Antique brass letter scale – 50 grams – decorative tripod.
Beautiful antique letter scale made of brass, with a maximum weighing capacity of 50 grams. This classic mechanical letter scale features an elegant and refined design and is a beautiful combination of functionality and decoration. The scale stands on a three-legged base, richly decorated with floral motifs. The legs are shaped like lion's paws, giving it a stately and high-quality appearance. The whole is stable and has a lovely patina appropriate for its age. The scale is equipped with a curved dial up to 50 grams, characteristic of European letter scales from the late 19th / early 20th century. The use of the term grams and the design suggest that it originates from Germany (probably Jakob Maul) or Central Europe. Similar models can be found in specialized collector catalogs.
