Vintage Mechanical Calculator Walther WSR 160 Fifties Home Decor Working

Nice complete and working original vintage calculator, mechanical from the 50s. Weight: 5 kg including original cover!

This calculator was made by Carl Walther's company, founded in 1883 in Germany, Zella-Mehlis. A very well-known factory that primarily produced weapons for hunting and target practice. The reliability and accuracy of these weapons ensured that Walther was highly regarded. The police and military also purchased the weapons. The most famous of its kind was the Walther PPK, which not only appeared as a weapon for James Bond, but was also said to be the weapon of Adolf Hitler, with which he killed himself. From 1925, the Walther Company also started making 'sprossenrad' calculators. Mechanically adjusted calculators based on various pin wheels, levers and springs. Probably copied from the patent of Odhner (see shop for this calculator!) After the company had survived the great depression (1923) and the war, it were the people who worked there afterwards who were proud of the products. And that can still be seen today. Quality product from Germany. The company still exists today as Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen!
