Front View
The top sign is a reproduction as well as the marble otherwise
the machine is all original. The dimensions of the bottom are
9"W by 16"D by 23.5"H The key to lock the lid shut as well as the key
to lock the machine are included. |
Rear View
The case pattern is known as fine scroll and is one of the most highly
sought designs among collectors. This register was produced by NCR from
1894 - 1902 making this one of the latest of this model. The base is medium
oak finish.

The Side View
From the side we can see the total beauty of this design. The lock
on this side will lock the machine if the lid is also locked.
The little knob nearing the top front is for allowing the bell to
ring or not. |
The Keys
The keychecks on this machine are original glass and the keyrings
that hold them on are also original. One of the features that make this
model a bit more unusual is the 12 keyarms. Most small NCR's this size
have only 11. The arms have been re-nickeled perfectly. The marble that
you see is a reproduction since there was no marble at all when i got this
register.

Under the Lid
Under the lid we see that the 2 dustcovers have been re-plated nickel
as well as the lid arm, working lid counter, lock, and customer counter
reset wheel. The lid is velvet lined (although not the original velvet
) and the shadow you see in the dustcover is me in my red shirt taking
the picture. |
Under the Dustcover
As you can see this machine was not restored with a can of WD40.
each and every part was taken out, cleaned, polished or brushed, properly
oiled and greased only where it is supposed to be greased. That and many
hours of careful adjusting is the reason that this mechanism works so perfectly
every time you ring it and it adds correctly! |

The Topsign
This is a reproduction glass topsign not an original (I have only
seen a few originals and few of us can afford one anyway!).
The backside is the same as the front. The feet are narrow and fit
nicely. |
The Flags
These flags have been re-silk screened by Jeff & Britta. Those
of us that know of them know that the work is superb. They also re-painted
the flash with the wording "Sale Not Yet Recorded" as it was originally.
The glass holders were re-plated nickel and the screws that hold them in
were plated in gold since the tips of them are visible from the outside
of the case and need to blend in with the bronze case. |

The Drawer
The drawer has been re-veneered on the bottom and then shellacked.
The drawer rails, catch, spring holder, and screws were also re-plated
nickel. The drawer spring, catch screws and drawer pin have been plated
gold, again because it looked better. The bill weight is brass and a reproduction.
This drawer slides smoothly and catches properly. The tag under the drawer
says that it was originally sold to a Mr. H.E. Corliss of Dubuque, Ia.
on July 25, 1902 by H. Molzer. Class 30 case C
