Further comments One of the first inexpensive slide rules for schools (Schulrechenstäbe). They all have celluloid cursors. The celluloid looks different from the celluloid on the "normal" FC slide rules. It more resembles a thick layer of paint than a layer of celluloid.

I still don't know how to date these school slide rules, as there is no production date on the back.
