Any statements regarding authenticity are expressions of opinion only and should not be relied upon as fact. Independent professional authentication is strongly recommended before any purchase, sale, or valuation decision.
Appraisal values are estimates only and may vary significantly based on condition, provenance, market demand, and additional information not available at the time of review.

Re: National Cash Register
These National Cash Registers date from the turn of the 19th century through to about 1910. They had huge run ups in value during the 1980's and peaked in the early 90's. Since then values have declined a great deal. Comparable examples to yours often sell in the $500.00- $1500 range at auction.
