Description: Introducing the Sun Hemmi Bamboo Slide Rule, a remarkable piece of history and precision. This model, Number 130, hails from the 1950s, a testament to its enduring quality and craftsmanship. Crafted in Japan, the birthplace of the esteemed Hemmi Bamboo Slide Rule Company Ltd., this instrument embodies the company’s reputation as the oldest and most respected manufacturer of slide rules. The construction of this slide rule is a marvel in itself. It is composed of bamboo, a material known for its durability and lightweight nature. The bamboo is meticulously coated on both sides with white celluloid, and held together with sturdy metal posts. The glass indicator, framed in metal, features bamboo and celluloid sides, a testament to the attention to detail in its design. The rule proudly displays its heritage, marked in the lower right corner of the base front with “SUN” (flanked by two depictions of the sun), “HEMMI”, and “MADE IN JAPAN”. This particular model, the Number 130, was produced around 1955, making it a vintage collector’s item. Despite its age, the slide rule is in great used condition, bearing the marks of many years of use and storage with grace. The slide rule comes with its original case, which shows definite wear, adding to its vintage charm.
