So, yes, it's a basic calculator with only addition, subtotal and total functions. It has a drawer which pings out when you press the green button. But, it also makes a squidgy "beep" noise every time you press a keypad button, so that's rather special. It works. And actually, it's in very good shape considering its age - it's at least 40 years old - with no chips or cracks to the plastics. It takes a PP3 battery to provide those beeps and complicated mathematical solutions, the compartment for which is via the card base.

So, that's it. In sum. We like it.

Our "Cyclops" desk or shelf lamp is a variant on the eyeball lamp of the era, with the orange spherical enamelled metal shade section housed inside a square smoked acrylic box. The shade rotates on a central axis lockable via the two side nuts.  The colour and shape combinations of the semi-transparent housing and the shade makes this lamp as interesting when switched off as it is when illuminated. The lamp features an original inline switch.

In good condition with only very minor signs of wear and age this lamp is increasingly uncommon and highly desirable for a mid-century inspired environment.
