It's a Deitzgen ESR-1. As your page says, it's an OEM version of the
Casio fx-1. Casio sold the machines to Deitzgen, who just put their own
modem/name/seria number tags on them, and was responsible for marketing
and maintaining the within their marketplace. Sperry-Remington also
OEM'd the Casio fx-1, and sold it under their brand name as the 1259S.
Quite an interestng machine. It is essentially a basic four function
calculator with square root, that added ROM-based "programs" using the
besic functions of the machine to carry out the scientific functions.
Some of the functions are very slow as a resylt. You can learn more by

Subject: Name that calc
I was reviewing my small calculator collection tonight and
unboxed this old thing:

I've had it for at least ten years and had nearly forgotten about it.
It's a Dietzgen with Nixies, it's got "scientific" functions,
and takes a standard power cord. That's about the extent of
my knowledge.
Anyone know the model number on it, or other interesting details?
TIA...
