This rare and seldom found machine is a 1903 Omega Calculator made in Munich Germany by Omega Company.  They made the machine only 3 years.  In 1906 a more common model was made and distributed to England.  Both models were designed to be a four, 4, function machine to Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide.  Only a handful of the 1903 machines were produced.  We’ve seen a variety of the 1906 models.  The Omega was a high-class advanced design that used the US Locke Adder as a base with increased functions using some designs found only in Napier Bones and Abacus.  It was constructed by Justin Bamberger and received many decorations by “Jugendstil Movement” (German Renaissance Group announcing new advancements in Design).  The Box has slight paper loss and a wood replacement on right side, but has preserved this treasure in perfect operation and display condition.  This machine has incredible detail German workmanship and brass accents built into a machine and wood box (Note Copper Impressed Decoration Cover with original paper notes, secret compartment for paper clips, etc.).  The Omega Company made only a very few of these machines as prototypes in hopes of finding investors to begin production.  Only a few of these 1903 Omega Calculators known to exist are in a Professional Private Collection and the other in the Dresden Mathematical Salon in Germany.  We have a photocopy of original manual from the 1906 machine (all in German Language).  A German Professional Collector has helped in Provenance Notes as this was the first Omega made: “On the machine, it reads D.R. pat angem and D.R.G.M. which means that it is even older or 1st series of machines made by Omega”.  “Also in the spelling “Rechen Maschinenfabrik” is a typesetter error.  There is a blank on the wrong position.  This was the 1st prototype model”.  Size is 18” x 6” x 2.5” and weighs 4 pounds.  This is truly a priceless museum piece that belongs only with very serious collectors.
