It's Hammer Time, but I Can't Touch This

Enigma machine to go under the hammer

A version of the three rotor Enigma machine — used by the German military to encrypt messages, the code of which was subsequently cracked by a team at the legendary Bletchley Park complex — will be auctioned at Christie’s on September 29.

The last one sold for more than $100k, which is just a bit outside of my price range.
