THE CALCUMETER "The Standard Desk Calcumeter" - 6 dial with no reset (indicates early model)
Antique adding machine includes box, stylus, and a few pages of the instructions.
Item is in excellent condition. Works well, all wheels turn freely and numbers have good markings. The legs that tilt the machine up work perfectly. I did not clean or modify it before taking photos. The photos are of the exact item as it was found. Note: the box condition is poor (see photos).
T...he items states, "PAT'D DEC 17'01". This model is probably 1905-1914 vintage. Made in the USA by HERBERT NORTH MORSE, Trenton, N.J. Item weighs 15.3 oz. Made of nickel, copper, and brass.
The US National Museum of Natural History has a webpage on this item and has a Calcumeter for historic reference. There are several other websites with historical information on this item. It's a very interesting early adding machine.
Please view photos to verify condition and item specifics. Thank you for viewing!
