The second scale also includes both coin and postage measurements, and is the only known Berrian scale with a separate movable letter clip to hold a letter in place while weighing. A descriptive note from Eric P. Newman accompanies the scale. The third scale is similar to the others in all respects, except that it does not have the postage increments for weighing letters.
