Antique 1911 F.B. Redington Co. Counting Machine Brass Copper Steel Construction

Description

Here is Patd Feb 28, 1911 antique 5 Register Cast Iron, Steel, Brass and Solid Copper Redington Counting Machine from the F.B. Redington Company of Chicago, IL. This piece features the Brass Register Wheels and Face Plate, Copper Pitman and Pitman Arm, Steel Cowl and Counter Box and a Cast Iron Frame. This piece measures roughly 10” in length and 4” across the box and retains the original mounting screw. The counter does advance, though I didn’t take it through all 5 digits. Conditionally, it could use some cleaning to freshen it up a bit. The spring-loaded Cowl does have pitting and old corrosive wear, yet it is intact and sound overall. The springs to the inside are also corroded, yet the one attached to the pitman is sound.
