This was my dad's Keuffel & Esser when he went off to college in 1931.
It became mine when I went off to college in 1971.
It served me quite well until I was able to purchase an HP-41C (which I still have).

1) The leucistic squirrel shades itself while basking after having gorged on seed in the feeder.
2) After it spied me taking shots, it leapt on to the fence to make a getaway, finding the spear tips a bit painful and difficult to maneuver over.
3) And finally finds this method of escape somewhat less tortuous.

Leucitic Squirrel
During the 27 years I've lived here, there appears to be a recessive allele circulating amongst the squirrel population, as there is usually at least one and sometimes up to three of these variants running around the place.
I had to take this through a double-paned window at an obtuse angle, thus the lack of sharpness.

Probably mange.
From Science.com - Mange is typically associated with dogs and cats. However, the mischievous squirrels frolicking in the yard contract the itchy illness. When Notoedres Douglasi mites infest a squirrel, it creates a species-specific mange that is not transferable to humans and pets. (See Reference 1) When a Sarcoptes Scabiei tic burrows subdermally in a squirrel, she develops the sarcoptic strain of mange common in household pets and communicable to humans. Contact between species is infrequent. Therefore, cross contamination is rare, but treatment is similar.
Treatment is controversial. Squirrels cannot be isolated during the medication period. Mites hide in squirrel nests and quickly reinfect them, trivializing the efficacy of the treatment. While treating wildlife poses a challenge, most squirrels in a suburban or urban environment are semi-tame. Observe them and feed them with ease. Restore balding, scratching neighborhood squirrels to health with these simple steps.
Purchase ivermectin from your veterinarian or feed store. Ivermectin comes in tablets, intended for canines and small mammals, or in paste. The paste form is marketed as horse wormer.
Measure out the correct dosage of ivermectin. Half the size of a grain of rice is an appropriate amount of paste wormer. For tablets, doling out the correct dosage is less exacting, and may require specialized measuring equipment or estimation as the recommended portion is 200 micrograms per kilogram of animal weight. (See Reference 3) A squirrel weighs between 8 ounces and 1.5 pounds, or up to half a kilogram. Therefore, 100 micrograms is the maximum dosage per squirrel. Cut the tablet then pound into powder form.
