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.)
