About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
An elegant precision postal instrument dating back to the early 1900s, this pendulum letter scale is a fine example of functional German industrial design. Marked with the D.R.G.M. (Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster), it represents the mechanical excellence of the era and is a piece of vintage office history.
Crafted from brass and metal with a solid black base, the scale retains a beautiful original patina that attests to its authenticity. The sculptural structure makes it a perfect furnishing accessory for professional offices, libraries, or Dark Academia-style environments.
