The National Cash Register Co., Dayton, Ohio, U.S.A. Model 332 - Serial Number 1458694 Beautiful condition! Complete and still functions. The bell even rings everytime. Looks to be all original. I can see no missing parts nor any part that needs to be replaced. It is beautiful just the way it is! The serial number on the drawer matches the number on the register. The labels are still on the bottom of drawer with the serial number, model number, inspectors name and patent dates, etc. Serial Number 1458694. Based on some research I believe it to be made in 1914. I have had this for about 25 years. It was given to me by a family member, my mother. I believe it belonged to her grandfather who owned a drug store during the turn of the century until about 1930's. From t it was probabally in the basement of my mothers house until it was given to me. The only thing missing is the keys but the top is unlocked. I have not cleaned this in years so it could use some cleaning with some oil on the keys, they are stiff. The marble has no cracks, the keys are in good conditions. All original glass, chip on back piece, can not see from front view. I have had this on display in my living room for all the twenty-five years. I get tons of interesting remarks on it. I hate to see this go but its time to let go of a few things. I know this will be missed. Below is information I found about the register. The most interesting thing I found about this register is that Tiffany & Co. Designed the top sign with the Dolphins. Class 300: 1908 - 1920
The Class 300 was a basic cash register capable of keeping track of total sales. It served in a variety of setting including candy stores, cigar stands, restaurants, and dry goods stores. The cost of Class 300 new in 1909 ranged from $50 to $175, possibly higher depending on the options added. The 1909 National Cash Register Catalog describes it in this manner:
'All Class 300 Registers are total-adding machines and are operated by pressing down the registering keys. When an amount key is pressed down the amount represented by it is automatically recorded and added on the total-adding counter, the amount recorded is shown by figures on the indicators in the top of the register, a bell is rung and the cash drawer thrown open.
The total-adding counter shows at all times the total of all the cash recorded. This enables the merchant to know accurately and quickly how much money should be in the cash drawer at the close of a day's business or at any time during the day. The amount shown by the adding wheels can only be seen when the lid of the register is unlocked and open.' (from The National Cash Register Catalog, August 16, 1909)
