The Type I Curta calculator I ordered from the States 2 weeks ago has finally arrived after languishing for a week in U.K. Customs.  Still, it is now with me at long last, and what a real beauty it is.  The description on E-Bay said “super clean”, personally I would have said “near mint” condition.  I really don’t think this Curta has ever been used!!  Already tested it out of course, and it purrs away nicely 🙂 🙂
