Forget your gold plated Calculators and Walkmans :hmmm Another executive toy in a velvet case to show off to other members of the board....
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...
Here is mine, complete with original box. Best described as a Pocket Watch Calculator. I was looking for something more special than mere gold...
I'm glad to hear that it all worked out for Richard. I am not the best person to ask about top end prices. Something I have learnt from my 700+...

Except the batteries in Casios usually last several years. I was so excited when Palm announced they were releasing a watch. Then I saw the...
To be fair to Richard, I have may been doing the same thing selling my late Fathers toy trains for the last eleven years, sharing the proceeds...
