This is a 1908 The Lightning Calculator and made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It sits in a walnut wood base, stylus and the original cardboard box. Machine is in very good operational and display condition. Per the Ernst Martin and Thomas Russo books on antique calculators, this dates to 1908. Later models were produced in Bakelite Plastic bases in the 1920s. Metal stylus most likely is not original, but it operates the machine very well. Cardboard box is rough without both ends of cardboard, but has preserved the machine is in very good condition. It operates perfectly with all tens, 10s, carry over. Size is 13” x 3.75”. This will highlight any collection of 100+ year old calculators.
