For sale is one of the rarest of the desk set items to be found and it is made by Tiffany Studios of New York, New York. The item is a \"Postal LetterScale\" and it is done in the \"Pine Needle\" desk set pattern. The patina on the metal is the most desirable green/brown/red. The stained glass is the green opalescent favrile glass. The Postal Scale stands 3 1/8\" tall, 1 7/8\" wide and 3 1/16\" deep. The round platform on the top is 1 7/8\" in diameter.
This postal scale displays an acid etched pine needle overlay pattern on green opalescent glass surrounding three sides of the scale. The left, right and back. The top round disk that held the letter even has this acid etched pattern as well as the top plate of the scale underneath that. The front has a postage scale label with its weight measures and rates in the front. It is markedSTAR Postal Scale. The mechanism was made byStar but the acid etched pattern and metal along with the patina was done by Tiffany Studios. The patina just doesn\'t get any better than this and shows minor signs of wear.
The postage scale is considered to be in very good condition as there are no cracks, nicks, or chips to any of the glass. The postal scale is signed on the bottom underside with the \"Tiffany Studios New York\" impressed mark along with the pattern number \"872\".
This is a an extremely nice Postage Scale invery goodcondition. When these are found there is usually some kind of damage to the glass or extreme wear to the printed rates on the front. I am very happy to report that this one has \"No Cracked Glass\" and minor wear to the postal rates!!
