Description: This letter scale is by the very famous Sampson Mordan, the most highly sought-after maker. The base is made from solid wood and houses the 4 spots for weights. I believe only 2 brass weights are original to the set . The letter pan is beautifully engraved with the following: LETTER POSTINLAND NOT OVER 4 OZS 1dEACH EXTRA 2 OZS 1/2dBRITISH EMPIRE1d PER OZ.EGYPT & USAOTHER COUNTRIES NOT OVER 1 OZ 2 1/2 d EACH EXTRA 1 OZ 1 1/2 d The side further engraved - S.

LONDONThere are also some markings under the counter tray The scale needs some care: the mechanism works as designed but is slightly bent and the legs connect unevenly on the strike plates of the baseOne round strike plate on base is looseOnly 2 weights appear original to the setWood needs to be refinishedOnly 3/4 of the felts remain and are stained and partially uglued Dating to the Victorian era, around 1900, this is an impressive desk / office accessory. The scale measuring 10 1/2" x 5 3/4" x 4 1/4" tall.
