According to legend, this abacus is the dowry of great-grandparents. It is said that he has been married for a year. At that time, the family was not bad. Grandpa's grandfather was a landlord at the beginning, and it was used for bookkeeping. Moreover, the abacus has a taste, which is a bit like burning incense in a temple, but it is a little lighter. Later, when I arrived at Grandpa's place, there happened a war and the family wealth declined. However, at that time, there were many things in my family that could be called antiques.
Until the sixties, when my father was born, those things called antiques were smashed by dilapidated capitalism, and this abacus, because it was my father's toy at that time, escaped and was left behind. In the s, this abacus has been with our family for many years. When I was a child, this abacus appeared with my children. At other times, because it is not used, it is put in the utility room. Value, and no one deliberately to estimate.
But one thing is certain, that is, the abacus should at least be an item from the Xianfeng period. It has a history of more than 200 years, and it is a relatively well-preserved antique for those who have experienced the baptism of that broken age. Although its price has not really been estimated, thousands of dollars should be worth it.
