Fun but useless fact. Early versions of the register didn't have a "ding". One shopowner was tired of his thieving personnel, so he invented a way he could hear when the register was opened. He later patented and founded his own register company.

There was a Tom Thumb Grocery Store where my Mom shopped and they had a coloring contest and I won. My prize was a pink cash register just like this one that came with play money and my Dad made me food out of wood and I played with that pretty pink register nonstop for a few years, I wonder whatever happened to it? That was late 50’s early 60’s. When the drawer opened it dinged...drove my Mom crazy. She probably got tired of that constant ding and retired it. Thanks for the memory of a great toy!!
