Brass Cash Registers
 
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.
