according to post #12, it looks like a cross between a sewing machine, a vendor’s cart, and a locomotive.

There was a FR thread a few months back that had video of a Curta calculator. Pretty cool device. Had a little crank on top that you turned and the digits would register around the outer rim. You can try out a Flash simulation of the Curta here.
If you want a real one, look on eBay.

Up from $170 when I bought it in 1970. As soon as the electronics came out, I knew it was totally obsolete and carefully put it, in its box with the instructions, in my desk and waited for the day, about 40 years later, when it would be a valuable antique/curio. Looks like that day’s here and I’m just going to keep on hanging on to it.

“I have a Curta II model.”
I bet you’re not planning to sell it any time soon, maybe not until the executor of your estate has to deal with it. That’s projection, since it’s just what’s going to happen with mine.
