Hi everyone,
Up for sale from my collection is a clean Curta Type I (Serial #32529), manufactured in 1956.
• Cosmetic Condition: Excellent. The original factory matte black finish is well-preserved with only some minor surface scratches. The engraved letters and numbers remain sharp, bright, and perfectly legible.
• Case: Includes its original, authentic black matching metal transport canister in good condition.
• Mechanical Status: The main body, setting sliders, and top operating crank all turn and operate smoothly.
• Important Note: The clearing lever's release button is currently stiff/frozen due to decades of storage (likely hardened original factory grease). Because of this, the unit cannot be fully locked into its transport case until it is released. No force has been applied to protect the delicate internal mechanics. It will need a proper clean or minor lubrication to free it up.
Location: Located in Lebanon.
Price: $1,300 USD.
