in looking for my own collectibles and those to sell, i found something i have never seen before...
Its called an Abacus.
This is a tool carried by a mobile ICBM crew that calculates the angle of trajectory, missile burn time, and blast radius. this tool is basically a drafting table in a steel briefcase with multiple slide rulers and hand calculating devices to aid them in firing the missile. there is even the instructions on how to fire it...
this is completely new and unused, with the smaller items still wrapped in its waxed paper, and unsharpened grease pencils. all the pieces are stamped with matching serial numbers.
After looking for over a week online, i cannot find anyone who has ever seen one before...
have any of you? do you know what potential value it may have? its going to be listed on ebay in the next few days...
if someone can tell me how to post the pictures, i can show you....
