Difficult to find in this condition, this wonderful old cash till has obviously been well played with but, aside from some obvious chipping on the cream coloured enamel (see images) and minor wear to the drawer itself, has survived remarkably unscathed.
The box proudly states "Automatically Registers, Rings and Releases Till" and adds "With Play Money - Made in England". well sadly, and in the words of the former chief secretary Liam Byrne, "there's no money left" but that doesn't detract from the overall charm of the piece.
We're unsure of age but imagine it to be 1950's or early 60's.
All in all a lovely old bright and colourful toy that displays well and is sure to be a talking point when displayed on a shelf.
