Back labels for HP-45 and HP-55

[swperk]

There used to be a person on eBay selling high-quality reproductions of the foil labels for the early HP handheld calculators, but I can't seem to find him anymore.

That being said, does anyone have (or know of a source for) back labels for the HP-45 and the HP-55?

Thanks,
Stan

Contact Adam Jones, eBay seller jones.sebago.lake; he had several different types of these available at some point, I'm not sure if he still has any available now. Note that, if he has any, these are original HP labels from the 70's, not reproductions.

I have bought labels from Ben Ong in the past, directly and via eBay. His labels are very good quality. I can't remember his ebay ID, but his email is ben.ong@gmail.com . I am not sure he is still making them, I haven't bought any labels myself from Ben for over 5 years. He is in Malaysia. He maybe the seller you're thinking of.

Also, there's a chance I have a 45 label unused, but definitely no 55 label. I will check for you, but I can't check until the weekend.

HTH

Cheers.

The pointers are much appreciated! I’ve reached out to the two contacts and am awaiting their replies.

John, the label I really need is for the HP-45, so if you can find yours and are willing to part with it, I’d like to get it.

Thanks,

I bought a 67 back label from him about 5 years ago when he was advertising them as the last of his stock. I had to message him directly when I received the letter because the window in which you can leave a comment on the transaction had expired! Excellent reproduction.

Here you can find the label for the HP-55

He also offers those for the 65 and 67
IIRC somebody said a bit shiny …
