AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exceptional Triumphator Model K pinwheel mechanical calculator, a true gem of interwar German engineering. Thanks to its serial number 53896, this unit has been dated with complete accuracy to the year 1927, manufactured at the legendary Mölkau factory, Leipzig (Germany).

This lot stands out for being exceptionally complete, something very rare to find nowadays, ideal for the most demanding collectors of technical and scientific antiques.

Main features:

• Model: Triumphator K (Capacity: 9 input digits / 8 in the revolutions counter / 13 in the results register).

• Year of manufacture: 1927 (Weimar Republic period).

• Included accessories: Original solid wood base varnished, black enamel-coated protective metal cover with the original Art Deco logo and the operational key for the lock.

• Aesthetic condition: Excellent vintage conservation state. It preserves impeccably and with great clarity the iconic green lithographic front decal showing the panoramic view of the Triumphator-Werk factory. The enamel black paint and the digits retain strong vividness.

• Mechanical condition: The mechanism responds solidly, the main crank rotates fully and the registers return to zero manually. (A light lubrication is recommended if intensive use is desired, due to the age of the components).

A museum piece ready to be displayed. Will be shipped perfectly protected and packaged with international tracking code.
