AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid antique mechanical postal scale produced by the renowned German company Philipp Jakob Maul, known for its innovative patented mechanism "Bilateral".
Model features
• Double dial (Bilateral): This ingenious design eliminates the need for removable separate weights. The scale uses two counterbalanced movable arms that work in sync:
• The lower dial precisely measures lighter weights from 0 to 100 grams (with marks for every single gram).
• The upper dial comes into play for heavier objects, measuring from 0 to 500 grams (with marks every 5 grams).
• Materials: It is built with a solid brass mechanical frame and a white enamelled metal base, typical of office versions produced around the 1930s to the 1960s.
• Brand: The name "MAUL" stamped on the left brass arm certifies its authenticity.
• On the back the inscription NIET VOOR HANDELSDOELEIND meaning "Not for commercial purposes"
