The EasternMetalcraft Co., from Waterbury in Connecticut, made this Trustee postal scale.It is a typical American letter scale with a lot of postal rate information onthe scale front. The scale is subdivided per half ounce and weighs up to 16ounces. the postal letter rate of 3c per ounce was valid in the period1917-1919 and in the period 1932-1958. The air mail rate of 6c per ounce wasvalid from December 15, 1918, until 1919, from 1934 until 1944, and again from1949 until 1955. The Zone rate for Air Mail Parcel Post of 55c for Zones1&2, 60c for Zone 3, and 65c for Zone 4 -all for the first 1Lb.- was validfrom 1948 until 1950. This postal scale would, therefore, be dated in the shortperiod of 1948-1950. Themeasurement is printed: Pat. Pending. A patent application would have beenmade.
