ESTATE FRESH!
Circa 1908 Keuffel & Esser Co. Slide Rule in Original Wood Case!
I have been collecting/dealing in Antiques and Collectibles for well over 45 years. Most of the treasures that I acquire are direct from estates or houses. Over the time that I have been been doing this I have ended up setting aside items that were either of specific interest to me or that I felt were especially "unique and eclectic". This has ended up with my having a rather extensive "personal" collection. I am now at a point in my life that I have to limit this addiction and in fact actually downsize my "collection(s)!" I suggest that you consider adding me to your list of sellers that you follow as I will be offering many "decommissioned" treasures as well as the extensive new acquisitions that I continue to pursue in my semi-retirement!
Those of you that follow my listings have noted that many of my descriptions include historical background. I do this in the hope that it will inspire many, with emphasis being focused on the younger generations towards reviving interest in our heritage and the artistic creativity of our forefathers. All of us have a rich history in common. This is something that we should be curious and proud of! I also invite any and all questions that interested parties may have. It gives me the opportunity to pass on many years of experience. That is what it is all about!
It is scary to realize that many of you are not familiar with this technical marvel of the 19th to 20th century. The slide rule was your Grandfather's (and in come cases your Great Grandfather's) computer! Long before calculators, slide rules were devised to undertake complicated, complex calculations. With a few moves of your hands, the answers would be at your fingertips. And, they were even available in size analogous to your iPad.
The 12¼" slide rule is in its original approximate 13¼" x 2¼" x ¾" wood box. The original owner's name has been inscribed on the top edge of the slide rule.
It does have a small chip in one cover glass. Please super size the listing images to view its condition in closer detail!
