Rare Large Victorian G H Gledhill Till / Cash Register wide desk B Type autographic Rare example from well know maker from late Victorian times through to around 1960s (see history below listing) this I believe is the B Type - rare as it is desk shaped and over twice the size of the wooden cash registers usually found and obviously designed to keep some sort of paper record while in use - has large open area to left of the slide out drawer that is lockable independent of the drawer which also has a lock (no keys with this piece) dovetailed joints and made out of hard woods possibly mahogany - brass fittings to desk top and drawer pull - drawer operated by moving the top middle brass screw (secret button) to the right to release the drawer - slides out smoothly and the bell operates as it does. The piece is fully functional as a till but not sure if paper record can be made to work Great antique piece for display or use - great prop for vintage TV, Film or Stage Dimensions Width 20 inch 50 cm front to back 20 inch 50 cm depth 10 - 8 inches deeper at rear Serial number on plate matches the one pressed into the frame (70540) ??? International Postage costs are ESTIMATES ?? ???

G H Gledhill & Sons Ltd of Halifax & Huddersfield 1890-1975 "G H Gledhill and Sons Ltd was established by George H Gledhill (supported by his sons, Arthur H Gledhill, Gilbert Gledhill and Walter G Gledhill), to produce his new inventions. Whilst running a millinery business in Northgate, Halifax in 1886, he invented an automatic cash till and automatic cash displayer. In 1892, the company moved into the top floor of the Trinity Works on Harrison Road, Halifax, to manufacture cash tills. He subsequently took over the whole factory and opened two others in Halifax and one in Huddersfield. The firm bought Frank Brooks time recording business to form Gledhill-Brook Time Recorders Ltd in 1912. During World War 1,, the company developed a bomb-release mechanism. This was fitted as standard to the early bombers of the Royal Flying Corps and, later, the Royal Air Force. During the 2nd World War, the company produced a range of military equipment: sun compasses for desert operations, a field service level for use in road and trench construction, map measurers, booby traps, tanks and torpedoes. In 1964, the time-recorder business was sold to the Simplex Time Recorder Company of Gardner, Massachusetts. The business closed in 1975."
