Thought I would share a fairly cool little item that arrived today. Found it in a little shop outside Chicago. It is a change receiver that dates to 1907. It would have set beside the cash register (or cash drawer) and the salesperson would drop the patron's change in it. While I wouldn't consider it rare, I would certainly consider it very scarce. Not too many have survived and even fewer come to market.

Looks like a repro.
LOL, I'm still trying to figure out why these were needed or used. There's a bit mystery where these are concerned. If you have a cash register, what was the need for a change receiver? Very cool piece though, This is as close as I've ever come to seeing one.
Ya, why wouldn't the cashier drop the change in the patron's hand? Huh Wally, huh? I mean huh Blaine, huh? Maybe this was the start of the "take a penny, leave a penny" change tray.
Maybe so, I just can't get my head around the concept, course I didn't grow up at the turn of the last century. Let's ask Eddie Haskell or maybe Lumpy!
Incredible find. Little shop outside Chicago? Man, you sure can sniff out the Coca-Cola treasures.
Very nice indeed. Now, just don't feel obligated to purchase a Coca-Cola cash register to place it by.
Unfortunately, an original Coca-Cola cash register doesn't exist.
I've seen them on ebay, they are real and rare. They can be found near the vintage gumball machines.
