Marchant model XL mechanical calculator working

A mechanical calculator from the early 1930s made in Oakland, USA. The Marchant company was founded by brothers Rodney and Alfred in 1911. After traveling through Europe and encountering the French Dactyle calculator, they brought the knowledge back to the US. After the patent in 1911, the calculators were made in the factory. In those days, these calculators were very reliable and still work after almost 100 years. The Marchant company is a wonderful American company with an equally wonderful history.

This Marchant is a special machine, which still functions very well. With its robust appearance, its striking red and white numbers and the army green appearance, it is decoratively very interesting. The serial number is XL97443
