Antique Advertising - J C Cox Double Wooden & Glazed Shop or Pub Used Till c1900
Circa 1900
Manufactured by - J C Cox.
A very fine example of an early 20th century shop or out used cash till by J C Cox.
Large sized example - Made from mahogany, the countertop coin till was invented, patented, and manufactured by J.C.Cox, an inventor of several devices to change gold coins, to store coins in tills, and to track payments made over a public house bar, counter, or elsewhere.
The two glass-fronted racks to the left and right held counted coins, while the central mechanism carried coins through a transaction, allowing both the customer and the clerk to see which coins were used as payment, and which were due in correct change. At each “stop” the coin sounded a bell housed in the lower portion of the central mechanism.
The till is in excellent order considering its age and the bell is audible when the lever travels across.
Comes complete with both keys and working locks for the cash drawer & coon drop. The till also has both ceramic change trays and manufactures plaque.
