Pinwheels > Original Odhner
W.T. Odhner built his first pinwheel in 1872 in a factory of Nobel in St.Petersburg (Russia).
They used the name Original-Odhner.
After the Russian Revolution in 1917 his son Alexander had to move the production into Sweden. There they founded the Aktiebolaget Original-Odhner.
In 1942 Aktiebolaget Aetvidabergs Industri (Facit-calculators) bought the company. They built calculators until 1972.
