The "nostalgia factor" in the market price must be culturally determined then, because there are quite a few out there well under $10 when eBay is searched for "Rechenschieber". (the German word for a slide rule) :-o
You can even buy yourself a brand new one (Rekenliniaal = slide rule in Dutch) for $5.21 (+ $2.54 P&P)
