Description from the seller

Office mechanical calculating machine Nisa, dating from the 1950s, used before the appearance of electronic calculators for common arithmetic operations. Entirely mechanical, it operates via numbered keys that actuate an internal gear system, with the results displayed on the upper register. Designed for professional use in offices, shops or administrations, it features robust construction typical of the mid-20th century. With a broken side crank. The front plastic crank/knob rotating is also broken
Beautiful authentic object with a patina of use, today appreciated for collection and decoration in vintage industrial style.
Highly sought-after in the realms of industrial design, scientific curiosities, ancient medical technology, laboratory optics, steampunk and rare measuring instruments.
Ideal for collectors, decoration of an industrial loft, cabinet de curiosités, scientific display case (theodolite, microscope, sextant, compass)
