Andy Aaron makes calculators. Unlike the cheap, solar-powered drugstore calculator on your desk, his adding machines are gorgeous pieces of machinery, assembled to look like something you might find in Charles Darwin?s field kit.
?I strive to have my pieces look like they are functional, utilitarian, mass-produced devices plucked from some imaginary office of another era,? Aaron writes on his website.
They work, he claims, and there?s clearly a market for the several machines he makes each year: They?re all marked as ?sold.?
