Vintage Hamilton 8 Ounce Postal Scale collectible letter opener Early 20th century IndonesianI just love the look of this vintage Hamilton postal scale, circa 1930s 40s. It's seen some use, with some scratches and rust and a little spots of paint, and seems to rest at a weight a bit to the left of zero but it's still a great little object, with a terrific mix of curves and angles. I'd sit it on a shelf with a favorite little treasure of two set on its platform, which swivels 360 degrees. 5 1 2" tall x x 4 1 4" wide x 2 1 2" deep.
