The Benton Tally Register

The Benton Tally Register is a manual counter that was in production from 1879 until the 1960s, and in all that time there were virtually no changes to its design. In about 1907 the 4-digit version was introduced, which is the one I demonstrate here.

The insides are fantastic, not at all what I expected. Thanks for showing it.

Is this one of the first handheld thumb-clickers?

I haven't found anything earlier, so it may actually be the first.
