CALCULATORS

An out-of-date electronic calculator might seem like one of the dullest items imaginable, but notable models are collected, often by engineers and other math-minded types. Calculators in excellent condition from the 1970s often sell for $20 to $30, and old, rare or notable examples can bring considerably more.

JCE model ALK-1—a 1970s calculator featuring a red LED display—recently sold for $365 on eBay. It’s not uncommon for working 1970s-era calculators with red LED displays to bring $100 or more.

Busicom 141-PF was the first commercially available product to include a microprocessor, the Intel 4004, when it reached the market in 1971. One recently sold for $19,200 at auction.

Casio FX-10, offered in 1974, was Casio’s first scientific calculator. It typically sells for $40 to $50 on eBay.

Also, are you sure that gold thing is for letters? Most letter holders have 2 or 3 slots.

Most napkin holders (like yours) have only 1 slot...
