      Letter scales

      Vintage  letter scales

      The world history of scales building numbers more than 5,000 years. In this regard, letter scales can be considered quite "young", because their age does not exceed two centuries.
      In Russia, as well as in other countries, postal services began to acquire special scales for weighing letters since the middle of the XIX century.
      The first mention of letter scales in Europe dates back to 1840. In the United States, special scales for letters  became an indispensable postal attribute since the 1860s.

      From the day of their appearance, letter scales were distinguished by the enviable variety. There were spring, beam, pendulum scales, scalebeams…
      The manufacturers often furnished their products with special tables indicating postal rates. Hundreds of patent applications were submitted worldwide.
      Along with this, the production of letter scales of one model was often limited, and some samples were made in a single copy.
      The impressive variety of models and their uniqueness have made letter scales the favorite item for collectors around the world.
      Photographs of vintage letter scales are presented in this section.
