1967: CURTA TYPE I calculator  serial #76436, near mint, with original case, cardboard box and instructions. 

Seller reports “My grandfather passed away recently and I've been sorting through a house-full of items, many of which seem to date to the '50's and 60's. I found this Curta and though the box betrayed some obvious age, the calculator itself appears pristine. He worked for one of the "computer" companies before there were computers -- an IBM-type. My guess is he received this as a gift or award from work and promptly stowed it away on a shelf! I'm glad that someone will finally get to enjoy it.”
