The European market got the TI-1260, the US market the Spirit of ´76. This wonderful calculator was designed to commemorate the 200th birthday of the United States of America.

Under the cute housing you'll find a basic TI-1200 calculator, nevertheless most collectors will pay much more for the Spirit of ´76.
