O: Old National Cash Register

We found this beautiful old cash register while exploring Streaky Bay. It was made in 1907 and was used until Australia changed to decimal currency in 1966. I had never seen anything like it.

It had nine cash drawers and a storage cupboard at the front. Each drawer has a different bell tone when it opens. It has keys which list how many customers have been served, the money received, paid out or charged.

I love that it continues to be on display for future generations to admire.
