Description:
An 87 year old calculator
in the shape of a monkey in a red suit. Along with the marvellous tin litho
graphics, the arms and legs pivot. One points the monkey's feet at two
numbers and the multiplied result is displayed between his hands. A cardboard
card can be inserted for adding numbers. The instructions are included,
the tone of which bespeaks the changes of the intervening decades.
Hard to imagine phrases such as "it makes no difference to the monkey whether
children are bright or stupid, he never loses patience at having to answer
their questions" being used to promote a modern teaching aid.
Condition:
Minor wear in over
all good condition. The cardboard insert is missing the two top corners
and the package/instructions have wear and marks (please see all photos)
Dimensions:
6" x 5.5"
