A fine example of a Fowler's single sided Textile Calculator Short Scale Type manufactured in Manchester between 1920 -1940.

Made specifically for shippers, merchants and salesmen in the cotton, woollen and textile trades, it measures 68mm in diameter.

In good working order, both the dial and cursor rotate smoothly, it is in good condition, with clean scales and a chip free glass face. The absence of a serial number suggests this is one of the earlier models.

Weighing just over 100 grams, it's also accompanied by a modern reprinted copy of the 42 page booklet titled 'Instructions for the use of The Fowler Textile Calculator'.

There is also a modern velvet drawstring pouch supplied for added protection.
