It takes a special kind of person
to love a machine like this (like we do!). This Model 542 is the
largest of the brass cash registers that were made by National.
The register came with one drawer all the way up to eight drawers.
This is a nickel-plated brass cash register. The pictures do not
do the nickel-plated registers justice, but they are truly stunning. |

Guess who owns
this register? Rick Petty, who lives in Terre Haute, Indiana, was
fortunate enough to acquire this register. While the Model 336 is
a fairly common register, it turns into a rare find when you add an
original top sign. Fully restored, it is indeed a beauty.
The Terre Haute House was a prominent landmark in the city, and is
remembered by most of the residents. |

The model 12 National Cash
Register is one of the most unique brass cash registers. With its
metal till and metal top, this fine scroll, detail adder was originally
sold as a discounted machine. Very few of these particular models
were sold, making them a very collectable cash register today. |

When you first see this
register, it may look like your normal 130, but the personalized
breastplate makes this 130 a special register. Plus, the case
itself is a cast iron case. The only pieces that aren't cast iron
are the comb, the breastplate, and the tags. Even the end caps and
top sign are cast iron! |

The model 356 is
the largest cash register of the 300 class registers. This
particular register rings all the way up to $10. This register was
restored to its original condition, after being in the same family for
several generations. |

This is a wooden
Model 2 register in original Lilly of the Valley pattern. The
mechanism on this register was fully restored, but the wooden shell is
completely original. While the Clamshell pattern is the more
common pattern found on wooden cash registers, the Lilly of the Valley
pattern is by far the prettiest pattern. This is the earliest
woody that the HBAC Group has seen in 15 years of business. |

While everybody
should own a floor model, a floor model with an original 12-inch tape
reel is truly a find. This nickel-plated floor model has seven
working drawers, is electric, and has an electric lighted top sign.
This is a great addition to anyone's collection. |

While some cash
registers were sold originally with personalized breastplates, through
the years it is common to find breastplates with the names ground off.
This is a perfect example of what can be done to replace the name.
The plate is polished and then a new name is applied in our sign shop. |

This beautiful
red brass Model 313 is part of a display of an old-time barbershop in
the Sally Beauty Supply headquarters in Texas. The register and
stand were sold to Sally Beauty Supply by the HBAC Group, where Sally
Beauty Supply had an artisan make a stained glass front door for the
cabinet. What a beautiful way to display an antique barbershop
cash register! |
