Uncle Sam's Register Banks and Cash Registers Collectors
Guide
This is the only book specializing in toy cash registers that
I'm aware of. I don't actually collect these banks because I
find them lacking in visual interest. It contains 100 pages with
over 150 full color photos of different Uncle Sam's Register
Banks and Cash Registers, special promotional banks, banks for
export, sales materials, and packaging. The Guide covers only
those Uncle Sam's Register Banks and Cash Registers made by the
originator of this line, that being the Durable Toy and Novelty
Co. of New York City. The Durable Toy and Novelty Co.
manufactured these banks for over 50 years from 1907 until late
1958 when they were acquired by the Western Stamping Company of
Jackson, Michigan. To the purist collector any Uncle Sam's
Register Bank or Cash Register made after the acquisition does
not have the collectable value as those made by the originator
and creator of this American classic. The guide starts with a
chronological history starting in 1907 and continues up until
the acquisition in 1958. This is followed by a Rating and
Grading Scale to explain to you how each bank is rated.This is a rare book and you'll probably have to look someplace
like AbeBooks ( http://abebooks.com/) for it.
These
are a number of privately published and sometimes
autographed books on toy banks of various types. Contact

Wherever Men Trade: The Romance of the
Cash Register
By Isaac F. Marcosson, from 1948. This 263 page hardcover with
torn dust jacket was published by Dodd, Mead & Company
in New York. The book is a history of the cash register,
invented in 1878, and the National Cash Register
company, which was founded in 1884. In addition to the
history, the book includes photographs of the company's
plant and leaders, the very first cash register, and the
state of the art as it existed at the time. Several
photographs show the vast staff, including one of Bob Hope
entertaining them in the company auditorium. National Cash
Register, now named NCR
Corporation, still exists and offers hardware and
software and data warehousing unimaginable to the people
populating the pages of this book.
