AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered: 2 exceptionally stylish mail scales produced between 1910 and 1925. One is made by Ph.J. Maul in Germany and the other is a Dutch-made piece by Henlo. One of the scales—the Henlo—has a particularly Art Nouveau design. The other scale, the Ph. J. Maul, is sleek and stylish in design. This scale features a 0 adjustment screw but a double movable arm, so the scale always reads at 0, even if it is not perfectly straight.
The Henlo scale is very rare and hardly offered. They are beautiful and particularly decorative objects for the Art Nouveau collector and can still be used practically.
