Victorian School Abacus, circa 1870

About the Item

A wonderful mid 19th century School Abacus, polished mahogany with a cast iron base, all complete and original, these are normally found in very poor condition after spending many years at the hands of young children in the school, this example however is in fantastic condition so was probably in the care of a very strict teacher!! Stamped with the maker mark of LSF.Co.
