Item Reference: 002006 Category: Stationery Format: Artefact Description: Salter Model 702 postal scales, with scale dial on either side; though they display the same information, they are not identical in looks. The scales are labelled with both grams and pounds, going up to one kilogram. The inside of the scale dial features segments for Air Mail Letters (Zones A /B/C), Inland Letters (1st and 2nd class), and Commonwealth and Foreign Letters, alongside the corresponding postage price in pence on one side, and the same on the other with the addition of Printed Papers – Full Rate Overseas Surface. The prices differ. Registered design numbers are labelled as 952533/4/5. Made in England. Date: c. late-1970s-1980 Further Information: Most likely used in a business post room, as they lack official signage and certification of the Royal Mail or Weights and Measures. This could potentially explain the discrepancy of the prices, as intended to give a broad idea of the cost, rather than accuracy, or potentially one side denoted the cost of the stamp/postage, and the more expensive side included the cost of packaging needed.
