It does like nice, almost too nice. I'm a bit worried about the end label. The two earliest Bygraves which I've seen had the actual number inked onto the 'Number' box. What do others think? Nevertheless, It might well go for more than the statring price. It's amazing the number slide rule collectors there are out there if not celestal enthusiasts. DaveP
