A large 19th century National Cash Register Company brass till, bearing plaque, width 53 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The till is in generally good order. All keys depress and spring back into position as they should, the drawer opens and the bell rings. The price markers rise and fall as they should. The wooden plinth base is in good condition all round with only minor scuffs and the odd nibble to the timber. The brasswork appears to be all in good order with no losses. The piano front lifts to show the digit counters which also appear to advance with each depress of the keys. The only minor problem with the piece is that the top rectangular section of glass has one edge chip and numerous small edge nibbles as one would expect. The rear glass panel also has a small top edge chip and minor edge nibbles. The front glass panel appears to be in good order. We have four till keys of various skeleton types. The other minor issue is that the cylindrical lock barrel to the piano front has a partial loss. The lock however is present. The key does operate and the lock also.
