    Here is mine, complete with original box. Best described as a Pocket Watch Calculator.
    I was looking for something more special than mere gold plate but this turned up first.

    It's hard to get an idea of the size, that looks pretty small but I might be wrong.

    The same height as a cassette, which is why I put one in the photo. To be honest, compared to even a credit card sized calculator, it is too small to be practical. At the time I purchased it a few years ago on eBay they didn't seem to be particularly rare. Probably the sort of thing that would be given as a gift and then after much admiring put in a drawer and forgotten about.

    Looks like that, the same thought.
    I couldn't get in the net how much it did cost back then.
    Could have been a rather expensive gift. :)

    UPD: Thanks to my forum mate - he found the price - circa $35, better than
    350 and fair enough IMO. :)
