World Cash Register

This is a World Cash Register, made by the Globe Cash Register Company of Detroit Michigan. The last patent date is May 15 1894. This is a nickel plated cast iron machine. It seems much more technically advanced than the NCR equivalent of the time.

For the time being it will stay origional. I probably will restore it in the future if the value of the restored system exceeds the investment. I do think a plated system would be impressive.
