National Cash Register Model 126; Collectible, Vintage; works For Sale

The key has gone missing, but the number display, key levers, drawer functions all work and it's in strong, sound physical shape.. The number levers are quite sticky, though, so it will be an outstanding decor item or rewarding project for a mechanically inclined person. There are additional displays inside the machine that tally sales totals.
