!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have we given any thought to how far we've come from our first pennies, and what it's all amounted to for us? How Exciting! Count your blessings too with this...they add up.
This would make a great surprise gift for that fovorite number's guy or Wall Street Professional in your life.
This marvelous, authentic, early 1900's metal calculator still works great.
And this makes a great reminder of how far we've come in America since then.
It's also a great ice-breaker & conversation piece for those one-on-one first-time meetings!
Calculator comes in its original wooden stand with the original felt backing in the original cardboard boxes.
The whole unit with the wooden desk mount measures:
11 3/4 inches long x 3 3/4 inches high x 3 1/4 inch deep
The oblong metal calculator part itself measures:
10 1/2 inches long x 2 1/8 inches high
It is approximately 3/16 of an inch thick and is easily removed from the wooden mount which also houses the felt
Calculator is in superb working condition showing normal signs of age.
Wooden mount is in great condition with only a few dings to the edges.
Black cardboard carrying case shows signs of wear but is in good condition.
Very outer clay-colored cardboard box is fairly well worn but still very much intact and useful for protection in transport or safe keeping at home...although displaying this one in the office is a must!
