Hi Curta folks,
The Curta I have is in excellent shape; has original box, manual, case, etc. All the levers move smoothly. It is a thing of beauty, but I don't use it and plan to sell it on eBay.
Are there any particular things you would want to know about one of these that I should put in the listing? SN obviously, and photos are clearly important. Provenance? Anything else?
Thank you. |

Mention that the metal cannister has all its parts: upper bumper and standoff, the white o-ring, and the bottom foam pad. |

Thank you, Jack.
I'll take photos that show all those things, too. |

It's amazing how many eBay listings there are that don't mention the most obvious thing--whether the calculator works or not. When I was looking, I found I often had to ask the seller. |

Good point, Stephen! I shall double check that and include such details.
(Should anyone be interested, it will be up sometime this week, and my user name is argentfield.) |
