A. W. Faber #367 Slide Rule w/ Keeper CursorA. W. Faber #367 Slide Rule w/ Keeper Cursor  This unusual slide rule is in very nice condition and is w/ its original hard case w/ advertising.  Slide Rules with unusual style cursors like this are very hard to find.  This cursor acts has what is known as a Keeper or counter allowing the user to keep track of his calculations as he works on a problem.   The condition is super with just minor l9osses to the label on the box.    

Fine  . . . . . $135.00     SOLD!!




Fowler CalculatorFowler Long Scale Slide Rule / Calculator   Fowler is a well known English name in circular sliderules / calculators.  They made a variety of different models and size calculators including many circular versions like this one.  Some were designed for architects, or engineers, and others were made for the textile trades.  Larger ones are referred to as Magnums, and this 2 3/4" model is referred to as the pocket size.    This Long Scale Fowler calculator is in super like new condition with its outer hard shell marked case.  The original instructions are included as well. There is a plaque inside the case that gives the location as Manchester England. There is a serial number under the glass on one side, but there is no specific model designation other than the long scale that I can see.

Excellent  . . . . . $495.00     SOLD!!





K & E # 4100 Stadia RuleK & E / Keuffel & Esser # 4100 Stadia Rule w/ Magnifier & Hump Leather Case & Box   This is a nice looking K & E 4100 Stadia sliderule designed for use in the field or office of surveyors and engineers.  The scales are set specifically for surveying and working with angles and elevations.  There are instructions on the back side.    It is a rare combination with the magnifier, case and box  The green box is unmarked but a proper K  & E product.  The condition of the rule and case are like new.     

Fine  . . . . . $145.00     SOLD!



Ross MeridiographRoss Meridiograph   This is a field used calculator to determine the true azimuth.   I suppose for use prior to setting up a solar transit or compass in areas where their use was required.  It is by Ross who also made another unusual slide rule.  There is a lot of paper that goes with it so be sure to see all the pics.

Fine . . . . . .  $65.00       SOLD!!









Eastman Kodak X-Ray Exposure Slide Rule     There is a copyright date of 1919 on the back side of this unusual double slide slide rule.  There are also directions for use here that are pretty vague and lead one to wonder how many people they were overdosing when they were performing this new technology on patients way back when.  One of the two slides that move has scales on both sides talking about the spark gap and tube distance.  THe other is for the type of film used.   The fixed scale on one side is all about different body parts and on the other is exposure time in seconds ranging from 1/16th to 64.  

There is a slight bend in the body of this (probably due to overexposure), but everything still moves and slides as it should.  It measures 2.5 x 5".  The outer case as seen in the picture is a bit ratty, but the rule itself is pretty nice, noting one minor tight crack in the bottom right corner in the greenish cover.   A rare an unusual piece of medical or X-Ray related memorabilia.

Good . . . . .  $195.00       SOLD



Nestler # 0260 Mecanica Slide Rule  This 10" rule is mint in its case.  Very Nice

Good . . . . .  $65.00       SOLD



Aristo-Commerz #965 Slide Rule  This is a nice rule by one of the earliest of German makers.    The case and rule are virtually unused.  Different and Nice!

Good . . . . .  $45.00       SOLD



Jason # 803 by Relay   This rule is in super condition.  The case is as new, noting that Wolfgang signed it on the inside.  The rule is like new as well.  Relay made a series of rules under different company names hat are the same quality and have similar features to those made by Hemi, and are in general far rarer and more difficult to find than those.  This is an exceptional rule condition wise.  It has 25 scales no serial # and is as nice as one could hope for.

Good . . . . .  $95.00       SOLD



12" Boxwood Sector Rule    This unusual rule is the forerunner to the slide rule, and they are often found in the 6" size, but are quite unusual in this 12" size.  This example is unmarked as to maker, but probably dates from the early 1800's.  The condition is quite nice noting the two small dings on the upper rail.  I have never fully understood the proper operation of these devices, but the information has been published, and I have been to websites that discuss their use in detail.  Different and Nice!!

Good . . . . .  $125.00       SOLD



Pickett Model # 6-T Statistical Quality Control Slide Rule    Overall this rule is in very good condition.  Special use slide rules from any company are much more difficult to find, and this one aimed at statistical analysis is no exception.  I count 28 scales to keep you occupied, and I wish I could tell you the significance of them, or why this is special for statisticians but I cannot.  I do know that only a few have been offered at the internet auction, and that new in the box I have seen them for a lot more money than this one.

Good . . . . .  $165.00       SOLD



The Smallwood Calculator  The adding machine itself is near mint, as is the walnut base it is set into.  Marcia Palmer did lightly put her name in the top rail.  The small wooden original stylus is present.  The protective case, which is a triangular cardboard box, has one end popped loose, and the patent date is on the front of it in small gold lettering and looks to be Feb. 23, 1---, with the last numbers being unreadable.  These interesting and desirable adders were produced by different manufacturers over the years.  This example, The Smallwood,  from Oakland, CA,  is one of the harder ones to find, and even more so in this condition.

Good . . . . .  $145.00       SOLD



Castell / Faber #2/83 Novo Duplex Slide Rule   This rule is 15" long and is one of the most sought after and popular of all rules put out by this company.  There are at least 30 scales, and a host of color schemes to help you keep things figured out.  If you need help with them the super condition 30 page manual is here as well.  There is also a conversion chart and ruler in the bottom of the case.  The rule is in excellent condition, and has no problems with any aspect of it.  The case is cracked across the bottom.  A rare rule, and a welcome addition to the hoard.

Good . . . . .  $195.00       SOLD



Otis King Model A #6992 Circular Telescoping Slide Rule / Calculator   Here is an early version of this English favorite, and it is in super condition.  There are two scales #423 & 414, which are both in great condition, with no peeling or other problems.  These earlier models were done in white on black for the scales to give them more contrast.  I have had later models that were done reverse of this.  This one also has a small ring at the top which later versions do not have as well.  Lastly there is the calfskin slip cover that has the name still visible, but it is in a very fragile state, and both the top and bottom are missing.

Good . . . . .  $395.00       SOLD



Lafayette  #98-70129 Vectorlog Slide Rule  This rule was made by Relay a competitor of Hemmi I believe.  It is slightly dirty, but in very nice overall condition.  I count 26 separate scales.  The leather case is nice with minor scuffs. These off brand versions of rules are becoming increasingly hard to find, and should be a good investment in the long term.  This is a nice one.

Good . . . . .  $95.00       SOLD
