In HS, I was able to get a Post Versalog Slide Rule in preparation for college, but still had some time using it in the HS math course.
I felt like it was breaking the folks' bank account at the time....an expenditure of $25 !! ..."you better study hard, kid"
I used it quite often and it sure made the courses easier, but I was always disappointed with the lack of accuracy, even tho' most math answers only needed a couple of decimal places for the profs to pass them.

After about 50 yrs, even tho' it was in excellent shape with the leather "holster" like new, I decided to sell it.
