Just thought I'd add the following to your "list" of HP calculators,
for those who "gotta have" all of them... There are at least three
different known versions of the HP-35 (HP's very first calculator):
 
   Early HP-35, identifiable by following characteristics:
      - front nameplate says "Hewlett-Packard" only
      - first four rows of keys have legends printed on the land
        area immediately above the keys
      - first four rows of keys are nearly square in shape
 
   Middle HP-35:
      - same as early HP-35, except nameplate was changed to read
        "Hewlett-Packard 35"
 
   Late HP-35:
      - first four rows of keys had legends placed on keys themselves
        to match style of the other keys
      - first four rows of keys are rectangular in shape
 
Many thanks to David Ramsey for pointing out this fact to me, based
on observing HP-35's he acquired from U.S. Atomic Energy Commission
(AEC) and Energy Research Development Agency (ERDA)!
