Vintage Triner Postal Scale Makes the Perfect Complement to Your Stamp Collection

Before the days of digital scales, businesses weighed mail by postal scales like this.  The Triner Scale and MFG. CO. produced this scale in 1963, when the Frist-Class mail rate was just 5¢.  It would have been used for mail weighing between 1 ounce and 16 ounces.  The corresponding chart indicates the postage needed for each weight for First-Class letters, Air Mail, newspapers and Publications, Foreign First Class, and 3^rd Class mail.

This metal scale is a piece of postal history you'll love owning.  It was made more than a half-century ago and shows signs of wear.  With a height of about 5” and length of 9 ¼”, it will fit nicely on a shelf in your stamp collecting area.  You’ll be impressed with its substantial weight, made for durability.  Only a few available – order now to be sure you're one of the lucky collectors to get one!
