I have what I think is a model J comptometer - but the red or white
key in the upper right hand corner of the number keys is missing part
of itself.
We bought it at the San Jose Flea Market, sometime before 1987, when
my husband died, but the local museum here has a bunch of them and no
room for more.

The mansion that belonged to Dorr Felt, who invented (and got rich on)
the comptometer is now an event venue and has a small museum of
artifacts related to Felt and his company. They might be interested in
it. See <http://www.feltmansion.org/>. I happened to stumble across
it recently, it's an interesting place. I had never really known
anything about Dorr Felt before.
