At Ribbons Unlimited we don't go as far back as the counting boards and the abacus, but we do carry spools that fit some pretty old vintage adding machines from the past. In the beginning, the older model machines had no display, some had a hand crank and most could only count up to 99.99. But back in the 1930s and 1940s that was a lot of money, and if you could afford one of these babies you were doing pretty good for yourself! From the early Victor and Burroughs to today's models, we carry a huge selection of inked ribbons and ink rollers for your machine from yesterday and today. We can also make some of your spool ribbons in colors, or in nylon cotton or silk- how crazy is that?

Color me happy!	March 11, 2026
Reviewer: Charlotte Metzger from Crocker, MO United States

I've had a Sharp calculator for 20 years and it wasn't new when I first received it. Very recently I volunteered for a job which requires the use of a calculator. I could use the one on my phone or computer, but I prefer having the paper tape that shows me all the figures. I pulled out my calculator from where I had stored it and, of course, the ink roller was dry. I looked on Amazon for a replacement and no luck. Then I went to the search bar. There was Ribbons Unlimited and there was the ink roller I needed. I was elated! I ordered 2, price was excellent, as was the shipping cost. I received my order in less than a week!!!! It was packaged well, plus, the box included fun, vintage looking stickers, cards and a vintage looking invoice as well as a business looking invoice. I am so impressed with everything and will order from Ribbons Unlimited again!!!! Thank you, Lanie!!!!
