Re: Louise-Kohle calendar 1938
I think the book is good, but the calculator might be post war as you say...

Not on the calculator. As for the calendar; the title page translates as:
"LUISE-COAL
LLC
Sales company of the
German-Upper Silesian
state-owned mines
KÖNIGSBERG [Prussia]
Sattlergasse 6. Telephone 4 18 62 / 63
Supplies first-class hard coal
from the state-owned mines
Königin Luise Ost- und Westfeld
[= Queen Luise East- and West Field]
and the Delbrückschächte
[= Delbrück Shafts]
All other fuels in first-class quality"
The Königin Luise [Polish name Królowa Luiza] mine was located at Hindenburg [Polish name Zabrze] in Upper Silesia. It dates back to 1791.
In 1926, it was taken over by the Prussian state-owned "Preussag" company and subdivided into the aforementioned Ost- und Westfeld [East- and West Field].
The Delbrückschächte were at Makoschau [Polish name Makoszowy], a mining settlement that was also a part of the Hindenburg/Zabrze municipality.
For some history on the mine, please see:

Re: Louise-Kohle calendar 1938
Welll, the unused diary is just that, given as corporate gifts and never used, I got several every year at work. The 'Addiator Duplex' was an invention of one Carl Gubler, and was originally produced in Berlin in the 1920's. Yours is a 8 column, 9 digit model measuring 5" x 3.1", subtractions are done on the reverse side. As you have said, this model is from the 1950's through to the 1960's. The company was sold on a couple of times, ending up in Bavaria where it was wound up in 1975, the modern pocket calculator doing for it.
Regards, Ned.
