One of my Favorites - Early 1900’s National Cash Register

This has been in my collection for 20+ years & looks the same as it did those years ago. My grandfather owned the Piggly Wiggly Grocery Store in the small town of Gloster, MS. In the same town just down the street, my Great-Grandfather owned I think what they called a Nickel & Dime store? This may be the reason I have kept it throughout the years. Not that it was in their stores per se but the nostalgia of it all. The artist in me wants to restore it The reason it has not been restored is due to my ADHD & OCD. One says restore to perfection , the other says, restore once that feeling of perfection is attained. I say, I have not had time to look into the intricacies of this type restoration & there you have it
