Final Touch Antiques Restorations

Notice: Final Touch Antiques is in the process of relocating to Covington, GA.

Recently restored scarce ANTIQUE MONITOR OAK & METAL BARBER SHOP CASH REGISTER c.1900's vintage. Has a metal sign on front which says "AMOUNT OF SALE" with "MONITOR" name. The wooden wedge protruding from the top is used to open the drawer. Purchased last month on eBay, this cash register came from the original owner's family estate. I was told me that the previous owner's grandfather used this register in his Worcester, MA barbershop in the early part of the 20th Century. Th...ese Monitor cash registers were made by the Whiting Mfg. Co. with a patent date of 1900 and were made specifically for barbershops. As per the "Before" embedded photo, I purchased it in "as found" condition. Regrettably, it had an old and very alligatored layer of white paint on all exterior surfaces which is a chore to remove. I restored it for my wife Pat to use a "repurposed" jewelry box. See more
