Hello Kitty Calculator

LCD calculators are cheap. When walking through Shenzhen in southern China, a visitor may pick up an LCD calculator for about a dollar. Similar calculators are given away for free by companies with their obtrusive advertising stamped somewhere on the device. While such calculators have little value, Hello Kitty kalculators have marginally higher worth. With a simple facial structure where the eyes are almost level with the nose and a shiny patina, the Hello Kitty model draws the eye to its recognizable shape and metallic style. Unopened, the calculator looks like a candy dish but the Kitty face lid flips open to reveal a simple number cruncher underneath. In stock and new orders are welcome.
