National cash register

These are the pictures I got. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

I'm new to the antique world so I apologize for misinterpreting helpful comments to be the opposite.

 

I apologize and you're right.

 

I don't know a lot about cash registers but this site might help:

I THINK your serial number dates to about 1914/1915 unless I'm interpreting the chart or your picture wrong.

 

Also the model number is on that label but I can't make it out ...

 

Forums can be tricky. You don't have the benefit of a wink, smile, or sneer to help interpret how things are meant to be taken.
Many of us had this problem when we first joined a forum. I know I did.

 

That’s so true. It’s like a text message. When I read the comments again I realized that. I come in peace lol

 

It seems that you're trying hard to get back into our....my ...good graces.

So here's a quick tale.

I screwed up recently with some family members...& have done everything I can to apologize...& ask for forgiveness......but to no avail.
Their response...or lack thereof ...has been to turn away from me.

So how can I, a sensitive man with a good soul....be any less charitable with you.

So Jory, here's what I'm offering.
Go to INTRODUCTIONS.....in the general discussion Forum....introduce yourself & tell us a bit about your antique interests....
& I'll be one of the first to Welcome you to our family !

& we'll start fresh......!

 

I agree and appreciate your gesture. Very wise words. I truly hope your family will come around and do the same.

 

This is one of the smaller more economical models, not one of the full size cash registers that I usually see at estate auctions. The cheapest NCR register I've seen was a smaller size register too, sold for $120 at auction due to being very plain and had condition issues. Yours is a little bit more intricate than that one I think. I've seen several full size registers sell in the $700-800 range at estate auction.

If the price is $300 I'd be hesitant to buy unless I found comparable sold listings on eBay for more. National Cash Register Co had hundreds of different models during their long history, some are rarer and more desirable to collectors than others. This isn't my area of collecting, so do your research instead of listening to people on the internet - if there is a model number on the machine that might help in your search.

 

Nice little machine. Would think $300.00 a fair price if buying for yourself. If looking to re-sell, you would want to research the market carefully. Not knowing the model number, I can't advise you further. In the world of cash registers, small can be good. The big ones can bring some good money but a small ornate one will sell faster.

 

Great advice! Thanks a lot

 

Ok, thanks for the advice. I’ll try to get more info on it.

 

Here’s a series 300 that’s been painted silver and also missing the top sign, it got one bid at $499.99.
