STANDARD JOHNSON COIN COUNTER/SORTER.

STANDARD JOHNSON COIN COUNTER/SORTER. A most elaborate coin counting/sorting machine circa late 1920s. Included with this machine are copies of the patent papers filed in 1925. Looking at this machine, one cannot imagine how complicated this piece is. There is a large hopper at the top where the coins are deposited flowing down a chute and onto a round turntable, where they are sorted into the appropriate tubes for each coin. There are many adjustments and chutes and obviously this machine was very accurate and functional, and the mechanics somewhat overwhelming. Machine comes indirectly from the original owner who in the 1920s-40s had a vending/amusement route in the Washington, DC area. Machine appears to be intact and complete. Metal plaques on machine indicate model number NNC5 and number 1485. Another circular tag with the eagle and American shield proclaim “Counting the Worlds Coin”. SIZE: 53″ h. CONDITION: Overall appears to be untouched original finish. Slightly dusty from storage. Mechanics untested but appear to be functional. Aluminum tray on lower front of machine, where bags would sit awaiting filling, exhibits some damage at mounting screw holes to frame of machine. 1-12313 (300-500)
