    This would have been a "Deluxe Modern Postal Scale" used in homes or offices and businesses.
    Like today, clerks and postmasters measured letters and packages to ensure customers were charged the right amount of postage. Many customers bought scales to weigh mail before going to the post office, as well as having them at home or work to check as well. There was no electronic scales or online shipping procedures to provide you with accurate postage charges, so this item was valuable for postal users to save money.
    EXCELLENT CONDITION!
