Further comments This is one of the series of inexpensive school slide rules (Schul-Rechenstab) that Faber-Castall made. They do not have  the manufacturing date imprinted on the back. I am not able to date this rule yet.  Looking at the box I would estimate the 1910-1935 period. To be confirmed!

The celluloid of this slide rule looks very cheap: more like a thick layer of white paint.
