A lot of gears, counters and keys pretty amazing slice of Americana! It has been fun and challenging. A few more screws to polish and keys to clean this projection will come to an end!

WWI unfortunately brought an end to the decorative cash register era. That 441 cleaned up well! _________________ Tom PM me for my email address

Years ago picked upward a similar vintage National. It was unique in that information technology was fabricated for the British market with 'pence' and 'pound' labelling. Its also nickle plated contumely. Fairly unique. Being an anglophile and collector of vintage Britmobiles, had to have it. Really relish seeing what others here collect as well radios.

Unfortunately as with radios, the housing crash cut the legs out from nether the market. Even and then, it was very enjoyable to restore them, all except the concluding one I picked upwardly: I got a 543 (1919 factory remanufacture) for virtually nothing and I plant out the reason when I took it home - information technology had a nifty deal of internal damage. All the totalizers were frozen, in that location was fume damage on the number reels which couldn't exist cleaned, and to acme it all off it had a cracked frame which played hell with the operation. I salvaged all the parts I could expecting to get another anytime, but I never did.

The next step was sanding the high shine brass with 1500 grit paper, then to my buffing cycle with jeweler'due south rouge and finally I sprayed lacquer specifically made for brass. Someone asked nigh the audio, pushing the keys is one sound, cranking the motorcar you hear the gears and at the cease rings a bell and releases the drawer which is some other unique sound. _________________ Larry in NC

The exterior plates of almost Nationals of this era were cast bronze, though I believe there were some runs made in cast contumely as well. _________________ Tom PM me for my e-mail address

Some were in service all the way up until stores started getting barcode scanners. It'due south not uncommon for one of these to have seen 60-seventy years of ringing up sales. _________________ Tom PM me for my e-mail address

I have no thought who threw it in that location. It is some newer than yours, late 40s early on 50s I'chiliad guessing, but nonetheless very ornate. It'southward not restored but information technology's cleaned up and she now uses it for her silverish ware in her kitchen. I just sent her your picture, thanks. Tomie
