Don't forget the CURTA. Designed by Curt Herzstark while he was a prisoner in the Buchenwald concentration camp, and "... widely considered the best portable calculators available, until they were displaced by electronic calculators in the 1970s." (BTW, I have one of these in the original plastic case. The top screwed on in the reverse direction from normal caps.)
