1900’s Original Cash Register Catalogues
Below are scanned/converted copies of 1900’s Original Cash Register Catalogues. These are very fascinating as they show how NCR promoted the features of each register. You should be able to find your register somewhere in this set of links with exception of the brass 1000 class drawer operated registers and the brass lever operated registers. If you have a wooden autographics or receipt writer look here.
Currently I have 2 original catalogues scanned and broken up into several links each.
- The early 1898 catalogue was over 124 pages and has most of the 2 and 3 digit model numbers machines. This catalogue is early and before the reclassification of 1908 where NCR renumbered all their models mostly going to 3 digit model numbers.
- The 2nd catalogue was not dated but must be from around 1909 (or 1915) and shows only one or two of each of the types of registers with several of the 400 and 500 class crank registers shown as well as floor models. If you have one of the these look here.
This took me hundreds of hours to put together so enjoy.
I will try to add others in the future. Please do not email me for others. I will post as I get them. I do not plan to do later plain registers from after 1920.

Note these are the early versions of the 400 class crank registers and are before the renumbering of 1908 and are thus only 2 digit model numbers. Most of these are fairly rare. Note the ones with clocks and partial printers and these are very desirable. Also, not the difference in the scroll case versus eh Empire case that replaced scroll.

Greetings, I have a NCR Cash register No. 3154337. size 703-T. It is by no means ornate in any way. The label under the drawer has the above numbers as well as Tracer 38W and the finish is MAH (faux mahogany?) I currently have it partially disassembled and am cleaning the inner works of old dried grease
and such.
What can you tell me about this machine. It appears to have ability to print out information but I cant see if there is an ink pad that was involved or a paper tape. What a cool piece of technology!
Hi I have an NCR cash register from the mid-late 70s. I know you deal with older registers but would you know where I could get some more information on the model I have whether or not I could even get replacement ink rollers for it and paper? My model is an absolutely great condition and works like a charm. The ink actually still is working and I have no clue how they were still ink in there and that it has not dried out lol
If I know where I could Send photos and maybe someone could help me? Maybe even find a Manuel?
I have no clue which cash register I have. The top number is FR953461YY Bottom number is 6644RI. If anyone could help I’d be very grateful.
I cannot seem to find any information about my cash register. Is there a place where I can type in the serial number and model number and it will give me information? Is there a historical society who might have archives of this National cash register that was purchased in Dayton Ohio in the early 1886 to 1907. It’s model 46. The number is 427608.

I have a model 15. SN 326902. It has 3 broken keys, I suspect it had been dropped in the distant past. Keys 20 and Charge are broken at the shaft over the rod. Key no 1 is broken near the value button. Is there a parts source for this machine? I am having trouble removing the side panels.I found the two screws on each side but there is something holding the panels in place, even though they are loose. Any thoughts? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Is there a recorded history or otherwise on the first F W Woolworth registers ? As a Woolworth vet it is my understanding from past discussions among peers on the subject the model number was 324 and company founder Frank W Woolworth was the first to request of NCR Co. to produce a ringing register. My interest is to answer (clear up) the different opinions that continue to be discussed. I have an NCR 313 brass register. Thanks for you time and help on the subject.
