Rainbow Colored Vintage Wooden Abacus with Handle fun gift and carved from one piece

and carved from one piece of wood

Living in horse country may be rubbing off on me

all with different names

I really love the elegance of this one

Rainbow Colored Vintage Wooden Abacus with Handle fun gift and carved from one pieceI love a nice abacus, and think this one, with its rainbow colored beads, is especially lovely and fairly unusual in having a handle, making it easy to calculate on the go! I have found a few other handled examples with a similar form, c. 1940s, which seems about right for this one. Beyond its calculating function, I find abacus' rewardingly useful for tracking of all sorts of things (i. e. move a bead to the left every time you make it to the gym!)
