For your consideration is this National Cash Register Autographic Register, made in 1904. The Autographic Register was invented by James Shoup in 1883. While Shoup started his own company making the registers, the other cash register companies of the time started building their own. The idea was this: A wooden box with a lockable cash drawer and a tally roll. The tally roll moved automatically when the drawer was opened and was under a separate lock to prevent employee tampering. This one, dated 12-01-04, was built by the National Cash Register Company in Dayton, OH. According to the tag on the bottom of the drawer, the machine was built for H.K. Fites of Winamac, IN; it was sold by W.H. Miller of Lagansport [sic], IN. The box is of quarter-sawn oak and has brass elements, including an inkwell and combination lock. The register appears to be complete mechanically with the working drawer and combination lock. The bell does not ring, but seems to only need a spring to function properly. Missing are the two keys and some brass decoration. The piece measures 17.25" x 19" x 8.5". Excellent condition.
