Here's one with a crank that costs a bit less.

I think we had one of these at the hardware store I worked at in high school. We had every piece of equipment they'd ever had, old registers and the like, downstairs in the vault. We also used a posting machine to do the accounts. Except it finally broke. And the only place you could get parts was Inida because that was the only place left that actually still used them. So we had to go computer. My cousin, who did the books, didn't take to it well.

Wow, that was built in 1996, it looks much older. What the heck were they doing building them in 1996?

Maybe they just felt cranky?

Hmm, that must be a typo on the seller's part. Supposedly the company disappeared in 1973.
