About the Item
Early 20th Century Nickel-Plated Brass Handheld Tally Counter, Machine Age Streamline Design
This early 20th century handheld tally number counter combines Machine Age style with satisfying, fully functional mechanics. Crafted from nickel-plated brass, it has a pleasing weight in the hand and a gently polished surface that still retains its vintage patina.
Behind a glass window, black rolling number dials have been reset to “0000” for its next owner’s first use. A small upper slot allows for a place card or label, while the standout feature is its long, streamlined clicking button, producing an undeniably addictive, tactile “click” with each press.
To reset the counter, simply unscrew the back and roll the numbers manually. The included video shows the counter in action, rolling smoothly from “9999” back to “0000.”
A wonderful blend of streamline design and industrial-era craftsmanship, this piece works beautifully as both a functional tool and a vintage fidget toy. In nice vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and use.
Condition: Light wear to the nickel finish, gentle patina, fully functional.
