	Antique ?  You're joking right ?

	I don't think either of those companies have existed long
	enough to make an antique (technically obsolete calculators
	perhaps, but not antiques).  Heck, my Land Rover is only a '69,
	and that doesn't even rate as an 'antique'.

	Now this 1947 Pickett & Eckel Deci-log-log slide rule with
	30 scales printed one it (double sided) -- that's an antique.

	And I know this fellow who has a number of antique electric 
	calculators, some of them even have ALL four functions. :-)
	[ok, that's not appropriate here, none of them would be
	 considered 'hand held'...]
	
	But then there is the Curta.....

	Anyone know where I could find one ?
