East African Photos: Letter Scales, Kenya Railway Museum
Do you remember going to the post office and having the post office staff weigh letters with something like this?
I do and it utterly fascinated me as a child.
This old letter scale is housed in the Kenya Railway Museum in Nairobi.
The writing on the paper reads: “A letter scale with brass weights of half, one, two, four, and eight ounces. By adding all the weights it was possible to weigh envelopes up to one pound or 500 grammes.”
Most letter scales were mechanical until the 1990s.
