Going through Mom's stuff after her passing we came across her box of stuff from her brother Ed she had after his passing in Hawaii. He was in the navy in the 60's and early 70's in East Asia. This is an antique counter he had that still works well but I have no idea what the Navy had him counting. He worked with radar.

The other two pics are his belt buckles...

From looking at the instructions, I'm guessing you gotta be left-handed to operate the counter? LoL
These are some very cool items.
After my granddad passed away, we found an old shoebox that had a snuff tin, pocket watch, pair of spectacles, a retired comb(he was bald), and last but not least...a full set of teeth!! LoL
