American Flyer Toy Cash Register
This is an American Flyer toy Cash Register. This is Chicago Flyer from the early 1930s. In 1938, AC Gilbert - the founder of the Erector Set - bought American Flyer from the Coleman family and moved production to New Haven Connecticut.
I bought this toy cash register in 1985 at a flea market in New Jersey for a few dollars. I carried it back to Arizona with me on the plane because it wouldn’t fit in my suitcase.
I still remember that flight because it was the last out of Newark for People’s Express. The airline called a plane to Denver at 10:30, and we got in line to board. Turned out that was the 7:30 flight. Our flight didn’t end up leaving until 2 am. It was a madhouse.
Anyway, back to this old American Flyer cash register. This originally came with a key, some paper money and some cast metal coins. The coins are inside it along with the key, but the paper money is long gone.
This isn’t a register bank, it’s just a toy cash register. I have other toy cash registers and register banks I’ll post pictures of later. This American Flyer is the biggest toy cash register I have.
These don’t show up too often on eBay so here’s a link to all toy cash registers on eBay.
