I'm starting to think dating supermodels might be easier than these Curtas. I've got two 500xxx's before yours and I had been under the impression they were 1954 as well! | ||

In my next time on Earth I will pick a more lucrative career. I do have a second chance, don't I? By the way Pete, you can also restore supermodels, but the results are never entirely satisfactory, and it's a never-ending process. They are never happy with the final numbers, whilst a Curta gives the correct number every time. | ||

It's a carefully used Curta. The set contained also the otiginal numbered cardboard box and the instructions manual. The price was for low income collectors:-) ... my 2nd lowest price for a Curta I paid (only the green box was lower)... | ||
