Please note:
- The lists referenced in this article are only
for National Cash Register machines.
- Be careful not to confuse
the patent plate dates with the manufacture date.
These may be on an item that
was invented many years before and only be a part of the machine.

You will find your serial
number somewhere on the front of the register. Usually just under the
indicators, in the middle of the keyboard or on later machines, on the strip
that holds the marble on. If someone has removed it, you might find it on the
guarantee paper that is glued on the under side of the drawer.
Your serial number will be
the larger of the numbers, the smaller number is the model or class number.
Look at Chart 1 and find
the year closest to your number.

If your serial number is
preceded by the letter "S" or "FR", look at Chart 2 for the date that it was
rebuilt. The early machines had the "S" and machines from 1948 on had the "FR".

Machine that have an "S" and
a letter after the serial number can be looked up on Chart 3. Use the last letter for this list. After
finding the letter, use the number with the letter and go back to Chart 1 to
see when it was originally built. NCR started using the letter after the number
in 1900.

* Note: There may be a letter
after the number but no "S" in front. Just use the number on the first list. On
some early machines, NCR sometimes put letters after the serial number such as "W",
usually meaning "wide" or something like that.
