National Cash Register Model 216 (Inv # 19) |
 Serial number: 740776
Date built: 7-9-1909
Cabinet design: Fleur-lis-dee
Finish: Copper Oxide
The 200 series were all made with the copper oxide finish. This finish
is very durable. I have cleaned it and buffed the edges to bring out
the copper, then lacquered it again. It looks great. The counter in
these machines were not built with brass wheels and tends to wear
poorly. The keys are very hard to press but do work. The owner had a
habit of laying his cigarettes on the marble slab and it is permanently
stained brown. It has been cleaned but I think is gives it character?
It is a great display piece. It includes a reproduction top sign.
