This MINI-POCKET SR is made of pear wood with scales on
celluloid veneer. It came in a leather case - and it was
NOT A TOY! Ref. to the print on the nice cover, it was a
gift from the famous German »SKF« ball-bearing company.
Historical Remarks ...
Because the original cursor was missing, there is a home-
made of plastic. The hairline is made with a »X-ACTO« and
colored with a marker - and for "contrast" the edges too.
Production Code = 6 41 = June 1941
