The last one is a letter scale. The top tray is missing. Postage was charged by weight.
That's it! I knew it was familiar but missing a part.
Yes, but probably the scale is in metric gram. I have one that is not identical but very similar. Mine goes up to 500 gram.
Yes, my grandmother had one and I liked to play with it as a kid.
I don't think the last item is calibrated in grains, more likely that it is in grams. 100 grains is under 1/4 ounce where as 100 grams is just over 3.5 ounces. It certainly seems to be a scale of some sort, the range makes me think letter scale.
it is AI, so you have to forgive it because it doesn't know any better
I wonder if the Trapper Nelson backpack frame design was inspired by the cradle boards used by First Peoples of the Americas. BTW, "Träger" means "carrier" in German.
I knew the baby rattle, because I have a sterling silver baby cup that has similar engravings of kittens that might be a companion piece from the same era. It's adorable!
The letter/mail sorter I knew, because I have one of those! I repurposed it to hold CDs.
This channel is the BEST one for showing old items that are truly puzzling to modern folk. I've seen some channels that just show very common objects that 80% of anyone over 50 would know. You really find some head-scratchers!
I'm guessing that the scale at the end is not complete, and was used for weighing something like precious metals or pharmaceutical ingredients since it's measured by grains (or grams?)
Thanks LazyIRanch!
5:50 I've seen a more whimsical cigarette dispenser my uncle had. It was in the shape of a donkey. You open up its back and inserted cigarettes. When you twisted the donkey's ear, its tail would rise and out came a cigarette.
3:05 hiked over a good bit of Alaska carrying a packboard like that, they're hard to find now days
That looks pretty. big to be measuring in grains, I'd bet it's grams.
My lucky day! I got two of them - the monthly file and the back pack frame!
I got those plus the screen stand! Personal best lol
I have a lot of fun watching this channel. If that scale is in grains, would it be for weighing powder?
I think that is a postal scale.
While I've never seen a baby rattle quite like the one at :50, I did figure it out from the mother-of-pearl teether. I've seen ones similar to the others shown here on 'Antiques Road Trip'.
only the rich and affluent had such luxury in that era
@@bryanlasermagiktyler3132 Of course. That doesn't mean such teether/rattle combinations were rare. And now they're collectible.
Google image search returns a number of egg weighing scales, also used for postage, around 1930's
The old letter scale was replaced in 60's by a tin one with a flat platform and dial. It had springs inside and was not real accurate. I've seen both in shops wear I worked that offered mass mailing services. Both places got digital replacements and kept the old ones for keepsakes and display.
Yup. Postal scale for sure. I used one back in high school to measure the bag of marijuana I bought, making sure I wasn't robbed. Lol. Just some honesty.
The last item is an letter weight, fairly common for not so many years ago, before the modern digital weight/scales was invented.
The last is a German postal scale.
The last one is a Gun Powder scale - that is measured in Grains.
I see comments for the last item being this or that...
US letters were classified by ounces, so if it is for mail it would not be for the US postal system. The letter scale my dad had was the same type of 1/4 circle beam scale, but the place for the letter was very different.
Litho/printing... not seeing it.
EGG scale, now that seems to be a good idea, or pharmaceutical scale.
The button guard csn be seen being used in the film "Dances with wolves"
Thank God that i wad born in the 20th century and medicine has stepped far forward😅
They could use that gut and bum pump for icing cake. 😂
They slotted wooden paper organizer is called a tickler file.
The last one looks like a letter scale. My parents had an old one.
Last item: Drug scale.
Last one looks like a letter scale but in the US mail is weighed by oz nor Grams. could it be an apothecary scale?
STERLING silver is a British mark.
That stomach pump etc. looks like a drencher
The last one is probably not a letter scale, but a paperweight scale for the litho-printing industry.
It IS a letter scale. It is still used in Denmark.The unit is grams.
A comment for the algorithm 😉

Final item is a breast scale to check weight of milk filled bosoms. The bigger the better the child is fed.
I'm sure it's calibrated too heavily for any of your gender-specific appendages. I bet it'd have to be in grains vs grams. Cheers.
I'd lean towards a partial letter scale. But I'm just a flagger...what do I know.....
What is a flagger?
@@d.l.harrington4080 you know. Those idiots that stop you for no apparent reason in construction zones. The morons with the stop/slow paddles TRYING to keep everyone safe.....
@@melvance7281 You don't drive in Montana.
@user-wm3bf7pi3u what does that mean??? What does controlling traffic mean with where you live????? I can work anywhere in the US. Anywhere I work, the common factors...flagger rule 1. drivers are idiot's. 2 if you think someone will follow your directions, refer to flagger rule 1
@@melvance7281 I would suggest you get underwear that is a size or two larger... seems to be cutting off the blood flow to your vital areas.
In Montana there are two seasons... winter and ROAD construction.
I had to go check to see when this video was made because of a comment the narrator made about shooting pets if they didn't get well.. was there some way somehow support of the governor of South Dakota?
Anyone that wants to gain a better understanding of how vets went from livestock to small pets look up the book/TV series called "All Creatures Great and Small"
The old vet didn't look at house pets but the new upstart vet understood that household pets were as important at livestock to the owners.
The woman actually published a book in which she tried to brag about murdering an untrained puppy, in an attempt to get across as "though" and "doing what is needed" (not that republican voters tend to read that type of autobiographical works by candidates )
