Not having more specific information about your needs, I'd recommend the Velleman K8035 Multifunctional up/down counter kit. It probably has everything you want, including preset output. If you want a spiffy job, get the bezel, too (B8035).

You might also want to download the manual. If nothing else, it will give you ideas on how to ask for what you want.

What type of counter do you want, binary or decimal? What should be the maximum count? What are your power requirements? What speed does it need to count? Do you need to count up and down? Do you need to be able to preset a count? What type of display, if any, do you need?

A counter normally starts at zero and increments through its max count and then returns to zero. Do you really want to count 1 through 9? The CD40160 should work well...use the carry output to preload a 1 into the counter. You will need a decoder to convert the BCD into a 7 segment pattern for use with a 7 segment display. You will need a few more passive devices and a power supply to make it go.
