Moore Portable register machine 1950s

Moore metal 1950's register machine/receipt holder. These were most seen, in the 50's and 60's, at gas stations. The two part receipts rolled up from the inside, there is carbon copy paper still inside, it went across the metal plate where you wrote out your receipt. Push a button and it ejects the original receipt and deposits the carbon copy in a drawer, on the bottom, to be stored till the end of the day. All the buttons and levers still work. There are four, skid-proof, rubber feet on the bottom. Size is approximately 11.5 inches by 6.25 inches by 3 inches. This one has surface rust and paint wear but no dents or deep scratches. Everything seems to work just fine. You can buy this item at my Bonanza booth.

Dreaming of Jeannie...


I Dream of Jeannie (YouTube)

When I Dream of Jeannie originally aired, in September in 1965, I was 11 years old and boy oh boy did I dream of Jeannie. What boy my age didn't? Her skimpy outfit w/exposed belly button made headline news. Why am I telling you this? While out checking garage sales a few years ago I found a rare, and hard to find, I Dream of Jeannie "Dream Bottle" by Remco. - SOLD -
