Nobility Handheld Electronic Calculator

This battery-operated handheld electronic calculator has a brown plastic case, a metal keyboard, and twenty-five rectangular plastic keys. In addition to ten digit keys, four arithmetic function keys, a decimal point key, and a total key; it has four memory keys, a square root key, a % key, a change sign key, a clear/ lear entry key, and a TM/CAL key. Behind the keys is a switch that may be set at CAL, TM, or SET. To the left of this is a mark that reads: Nobility, with a symbol for a registered trademark. No trademark found.

Behind this, at an angle for easy viewing, is an LCD display. On the back is a compartment for two AA batteries. A sticker below this reads: Nobility (/) Electronic Calculator (/) DC 3V (/) Use 2x1.5V “AA” or “UM-3” Batteries (/) Made in Hong Kong.

A mark below the total key reads: AJ. A mark below the addition key reads: TM.

A credit card-sized calculator that uses the same Nobility logo is 1986.0988.263.

Nobility is most probably a trade name, not a maker's name.
