My 15C (purchased in 1983) has held up well and has been my go to calculator - the back writing is mostly worn off, the silver metal on the top/front is dented, the display has dust in it, the keyboard is grimy, and it's missing one of the rubber feet, but the writing on the key tops show no wear.

It might have double-shot injection molded keys where the letters are actually a different color plastic molded on a separate piece that runs all the way through the key so no matter how much you wear away, the character remains legible. You could take a sander to it and the character would be visible until the key actually came apart. They don't build 'em like they used to!
