United States, Ohio, ca. 1914 to 1920 CE. A brass cash register by The National Cash Register Company of Dayton, Ohio, set on a solid oak base with a marble coin table plate.

The warm patinated brass surface, combined with the carved oak base, creates a visually striking and substantial presence. Marked with serial number 1279524W.
