Description

A COLLECTOR'S MASTERPIECE - One of the BEST antique cash registers in the country. What a magnificent piece of history to have sitting in your Man-Cave, Restaurant, Hallway or just on your favourite set of drawers. It's an absolute beauty to use and to admire.

NATIONAL CASH REGISTER - Model 442 - Manufactured in 1914

Production date: 1914 Dayton, Ohio, United States Serial Number: 1469034 Arrived in NZ: October 1914 (approx)

Materials: Cast Iron, gold brass and red bronze brass Weight: 60-70 kgs

History ownership: Owned by a business woman in Wellington for 50 years. 2018 purchased by a gentleman for his old school Barber shop, however unfornuately it was jammed and not working for 6 years. I purchased this incredible piece of history in January 2024. Received in boxes and in parts as per photographs.

Rarity in NZ: A very rare, fully restored functioning 442 model, making this piece a real collectors item.

Restoration details: Restoration date: February-April 2024 My aim was to save and restore this beauty back to it's original, near new condition so it can be loved for another 100 years. Due to the poor condition of the machine, it's been stripped back to the bare bones. Missing parts were identified and original replacements shipped from the US. All other parts have been restored and lubricated. Broken glass has been replaced, new key checks have be replaced as broken and peeling off. All brass parts have been restored to near new condition, cleaned, polished and lacquered. A selection of nickel parts were stripped back to it's original brass finish match all other finishing parts.

Includes: Keys, copy of original NCR Manual. I will provide training on use of register. Shipping: To be collected from Warkworth, Auckland Purchaser can discuss arrangements for a shipping company to collect at purchasers expense.

  • Hello again Tania ! I will make an offer and cross my fingers if ( by any lucky chance I get to be the owner would you ship,it to Christchurch at my expence ? Rob r***. (201)3:24 pm, Sun, 19 May I think it would be pointless with an offer. To be honest. This is what it cost me to restore, hence price. I would be happy to negotiate shipping deal. I know someone local in my area that travels to Dunedin monthly. taniabarber (27) • Sunday, 19 May 2024
