Title: Antique NCR Cash register and Antique 1920s Magic Chef Stove
Post by: wgfisher on June 29, 2011, 05:17:35 PM: Hey,

I am new to the forum, but I have some cool antiques my grandfather owned, and would like to find out a little more about them. The first is a NCR cash register, fully restored and in perfect working condition. My grandfather picked it up for $1800 years ago, and now it belongs to me. I have some pictures below, and the serial number is S102718 1058. I believe it was built in 1908.

The next item is a Magic Chef stove, which I know less about. I know it was built in the 1920s and is fully restored, but I haven't hooked it up to the gas line yet and tested it out. I also have pictures of this one. Any information regarding either of these items would be greatly appreciated. Also if you know anyone who might be interested in purchasing one of them, I am considering selling.

Thanks,

Greg

Believe you have a 6 burner, 2 oven Magic Chef....believe these were made in late 20's and 1930's. Have always liked this site...but their asking price is much higher than what you would get...they are restorers and have a store http://www.goodtimestove.com/gas_stove_magic_chef_commercial_1300.html (http://www.goodtimestove.com/gas_stove_magic_chef_commercial_1300.html)

If you're looking to sell it, I've no idea on what the market is like over there, but here in the UK, you might just get back how much your grandfather paid for it, but not at Auction. This would be a piece that I would approach an old Pub with, or a period Restaurant / Hotel, and try to sell independently, cutting out the middle man would not be difficult and would realise the most $$$. JMO though

Post by: azzaro on June 30, 2011, 09:01:37 AM: Yep, that's an excellent idea. I have thought about that as well in regards to how best to sell a piece at the best price. I have some really old LPs from the 50s which are related to some opera houses, Broadway and some that were sponsored by businesses with their name on it, that I might sell that way. Large antiques like signs and retro pieces like cash registers will realize the best price in pubs etc, 4-sure!
