Measuring 4.25 inches high, this darling and diminutive US Economy Postal Scale is still quite functional, that is if only the current price of postage reflected 1940's prices!

Measuring 8.50 inches long x 6.50 inches wide, this circa 1900, double-sided school slate remains in wonderful, all-original condition.Framed in a sturdy hard wood, it is marked "MADE IN PORTUGAL". The double-sided slate surface bears subtle surface scratching from use typical for a slate of this age. The curving vertical line seen in the first photo is the result of light reflection and is not an actual imperfection. The back side of the slate has been incised with vertical and horizontal lines for mathematical work. This diminutive slate retains the rich patina of its 100+ years of age and can be displayed vertically or horizontally. A sweet addition to one's school memorabilia collection!

Hammett Company of Brooklyn, New York and Cambridge, Massachusetts. The wooden box, now empty, was once filled with many 1 inch square wooden cubes, the purpose of which was to provide development of fine motor control in kindergartners through their play and manipulation. This box represents one of a series of "gifts" produced by J.L. Hammett designed for use in schools for the above stated purpose. The box is in very good condition with subtle evidence of use and measures 4 inches in length, width and height. Displays quite nicely!
