If I had one it would be in my collection :) The oldest calculator I have is 35 years old and still in use. Casio, made in Japan.

If you have them all! A friend of ours can only count up to 19 as she has had one of her little toes amputated. Fascinates our 6 yr old grandaughter to bits - she has a fit if the giggles about it all.
