AI Overview:
This item is a novelty desk calculator designed to look like a pool or billiards table. It is branded as a "Big Number Dual Power" calculator.
Product Information Design: The calculator features a green felt surface design, black rails, and the calculator buttons are shaped and colored like billiard balls, including the numbered balls, cue ball, and the 8-ball.
Power Source: It is a "Dual Power" device, meaning it can be powered by both solar energy (via the panel above the main numbers) and a battery.
Functions: It includes basic calculator functions such as memory (M-, M+, MR), percentage (%), square root (\(\sqrt{}\)), and standard arithmetic operations.
Vintage Status: These types of novelty calculators were popular retro items, likely from the 1980s or 1990s, and are often sold as vintage or collectible items online.
I think it started life with a pen, as the pocket in the top right corner is hollow and takes a pen or pencil
