Westa - Post/letter scale - Wood, Brass

*** Due to the increasing number of non-payments after winning auctions by unreliable bidders, as well as delays in payment, I kindly ask that only those who genuinely intend to purchase the item take part in the bidding, respect the rules of Catawiki, and complete the payment within a maximum of 3 days after the auction ends.
Bidding without paying deprives other interested buyers of the opportunity to acquire the item. Thank you in advance. ***
