Hello;
I'm afraid I joined this group to pick your brains. I inherited a
cylindrical slide rule called "Thatcher's Calculating Instrument" from
my grandfather. The machine appears to be in perfect condition (albeit
somewhat yellowed with age), in a well-made wooden box with a book of
directions (1932 copywrite date).

Can anyaone advise me of the potential value of this instrument?

Thanka you in advance for your consideration

Dave Eizinger

Hello Dave, It is hard to give a real precise value on your Thatcher. I've seem them go as low as $500 or so, to several thousand dollars in mint condition....
