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.
That actually makes sense Preske. There were no cameras back then or much of any security systems in place, so people had to come up with their own security measures.
That man was James Ritty. He'd later go on to found the NCR corporation, one of the largest register companies in the world even today.
Preske that was an interesting idea; how innovative of him.
@@Creeperboy099 yes, but he took the idea to the the mainstream and became huge. He could have kept the idea to himself and be unknown to history today. Instead, his company lives on long after his death.
Preske contrary to what you think, this fact is very useful and thanks for it! 👍🏼👍🏼
Now I want to see him restoring an old typewriter
ISO que ele fãs é maneiro
agreeeeee
I have an old typewriter, i wish i could ask him to restore and make a video out of it
Or the 1950s?
How about restoring an IBM Model D Executive? That is an electric typebar machine "WITH" proportional spacing. They were a PAI to work on back when.........................
This makes me think, no matter how advanced the tech gets, things that are made of analog can outlast anything digital.
You said it and it dont glitch.
Which is why I love mechanical watches.. especially antique American pocket watches
@@DocIdaho they are the best watch the railroad used them becase they where spot on.
Analogs are simply “built different”
They can't be hacked too
Comments: how’d he remember where things go?
Video footage from camera: Am I a joke to you?
LOL
it is true
@Athrun Bjorn Rosalda wish I could memorize something that complicated or I would have an A in math
Exactly! I always take photos or short videos every time I disassemble something complex unless I'm familiar with it. It saved me more than one time. Nothing worse than spend hours fixing something and when you finish reassembling it you find a lone piece laying around that was supposed to go somewhere...
I know literally nothing about restoration, but these videos are so calming to watch. As someone with anxiety, these videos are very helpful for me
Same. Almost akin to ASMR.
Ikr!
So true I also have anxiety and for some reason these are calming
Same here! Also check out Almazan kitchen! That's one of my favorite channels.
My favorite part is the sand blasting it’s so satisfying
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!!
Moms being annoyed by noisy toys... since 1950! LOL
thats adorable thanks for sharing
That's not good wish u had it
Had to like cause you were at 666 and this comment is far too pure for that
Aww, no lead test? I love the lead test!!! I don't know why. Beautiful restoration as always.
Exactly what I was thinking. I was checking the comments to see if I was the only one lol
@@thispersonistedious1101 turns out you’re both weird lead freaks
@@funkychilldude we love the lead test
@@deligeorgieva8535 love a good lead test
@@jaxsyncollins the lead test is important, and 40 percent of the fun in watching this dude''s restoration videos. The cracking sounds they make are **chef's kiss*
What amazes me is not only how fantastic it looks after he sandblasts and paints, but how he remembers how it all goes back together!
This is the first time that I have watched a restoration on here where powder coat was used instead of spray paint, now that takes class. awesome job!👍
Not gonna lie. I never knew powder coating existed. Comes out beautifully!
Kellie G ...we're never too old to learn! What you also don't know then, is that powder coating is like a hundred times more durable than paint, the finish feels more like porcelain...
@@Quickened1 How exactly does the powder stick to the object and what is the machine/device that it goes into to 'dry' afterwards? Very cool video!
@@jasonb3907 static electricity, basically. Different electrical charges
@@tedderjason ahh okay I see, very interesting. Jason lookin' out for Jason, you da man! :D
Man, that paint job was impeccable, as many have said. Never seen a powder coating on a restoration, fascinating to watch.
The sandblasting is like coloring to a whole new level
Your name is CZcams algorithme
It kind if looks like he is spraying it with grey paint
It's like reverse coloring. You're taking the color away XD
I love how, even after being restored, it still FEELS old. Like, not just because it's clearly a vintage or antique toy, but it's almost as if he just reached under all that rust and brought out the stories hiding inside. It's hard for me to describe, but that's the feeling I get from watching these.
Nice job. Can you fix my soul?
Well my heart in my nickname is.....
edgY
would need a lot of sand blasting ...
Are you made out of metal?
Edgy :/
In today's society where nearly everything seems to be disposable, it's great to see great old toys like this restored to original...if not better. A new generation gets to enjoy something made 50-60 years ago.
Kirby York agreed, I have this toy slot machine that’s poker instead of regular slots. All it needs is rewiring & some of those coil springs that make contact with the batteries you insert
In today's frenzy of DIY I would think someone would bring back the art of making good sturdy tin toys or metal made toys.
Bruh kids don’t even use toys anymore , just video games basically
Ok boomer
Daniel Garcia overused jokes aren’t funny
Toys like this really bring home the kind of design and engineering ingenuity that existed in the days before batteries were a widespread phenomenon.
My thought when he's pulling it out of the kiln: "Yummy, fresh baked cash register!"
I think it is supposed to be a meat smoker
It’s called a kiln I always said heat box thing?!
Hahaha
@@Percys_corner lol
Nice job. I'd be too stressed trying to remember how to get this put back togather correctly but you did it like a pro.
That's where filming helps a lot ;)
@Sun Flower Thanks for the Grammer lesson "Our Miss Brooks"
@Sun Flower Maybe Kelsey?! ;)
I’m right there with you! I’d be afraid that all those tiny notches would be rusted through and they’d break when I tried to snap them together, or twist them/bend them closed. I’m shuddering just thinking about it. lol
Id be Ok I am sure it goes here ??? yes filming is good !!
Rust: *exists*
Rescue and Restore: I’m about to end this man’s whole career.

Janet Turner that meme is as stale as that dusty box of week old donuts at the corner store.
Janet Turner are those emojis meant to be ironic? Because they’re making me cringe.
Rusty vintage item: *exists*
Rescue and Restore: I’m about to *start* this man’s whole career.
How does he remember how to put it back together, I'd never
well he has the video of him taking it apart :)
he takes pictures of how it's assembled. it's how i do it.
@@EvelynMaya1 that is true I do that when I do it I dont outfit on you tube
Put it
@@Airwrecka1980 ????????????????
Tom Thumb was a small store my GranMa used to take me to ..they had penny candy.. an fountain soda.... Good memories of her come back as I watched you restore the register! Thanks for sharing your life with us an all you do!!! ✌🏼🧡😊❣️
Whoever gives thumbs down to his restoration videos are jealous of his craftsmanship!
Absolutely. Talentless snowflakes who are jealous of folks with talent ESPECIALLY if they dare turn into a business!! 😒
Just negative people that can't do a thing.
I think the Negative reviews is the Rust!
It's usually armchair restoration experts who wish they had the skills and tools he has.
Must be the other recommended videos from guys trying to duplicate what he does
Perfect videos! No stupid music, no narration, just straight-up restoration! ❤️
THIS WAS MY TOY CASH REGISTER! What memories you brought back to me! Thank you!
With me being a cashier from 1985 to 2018..... This is AWESOME to see being restored...
I'd literally just watch sand blasting videos for like an hour that is so satisfying
Lin M i know 🙌🏻
PRINCE ZUKO! HI!
Ohhh try watching some pressure-watching videos. Same kind of thing, but outdoors. :)
@@conniemartin4878 that sounds exactly like something I'd enjoy
Great rust removal with the blasting and then the powder coating is top notch. Having said that though, would have greatly appreciated the lettering on the buttons to be repainted.
entropyMUSE agreed, leaving the buttons worn out took away from a otherwise beautiful restoration.
I don't mind that, I just would like for him to show the cleaning of them.
@@Thesotochannelblock I kind of felt the same way about the black drawer. Not sure if it was plastic or metal, but it looked kind of messy compared to all the nice new paint.
@@Halfcocked1222 SEM makes a plastic/vinyl paint that stays adhered to the plastic. ...It does a great job in restoring faded or discolored hard plastics.
Seems that he just remove rust and repaint.
I've got a question. Do you keep the things that you restore, or do you sell them?
good question
Ff
Maybe they restore them for people? Like Baumgartner restoration
I think he keeps some and gives away others like this one
Maybe they get commissioned to restore stuff
This man knows how to deconstruct fix and reconstruct old vintage things
Well done!
Also thank you for not having bad music and annoying annotations!
not even when it was released from the factory it had such quality...
damn, you've me addicted to your content
Вот это игрушки были раньше у деток.Развивали,учили уму разуму.Руки золотые.Такие шедевры вышли.Думаю лучше новых стали.
И главное всё было железным, надёжным, а не как сейчас одноразовый пластик. Сломал, выкинул и забыл.
Pretty good testament to the toy builder that it survived to be restored. Back when toys and other items were built with pride and built to last. Pretty fascinating video.
When i saw the works at 2:30 i said out loud, "Oh dear." I wasn't sure how i would have faced that mechanism.
RR: does something
Me every 30 seconds: Oh, that's beautiful!
I just found this channel and that has been my legitimate reaction! I love restoration videos, especially ones with no annoying music
*You’re* beautiful
R&R: Posts 8 hour video of nothing but sand blasting.
Me: Watches intently
I just LOVE watching you paint with the powder. I didn't even know that was a thing until I saw your stuff. The finish just looks stunning
Do you ever start a project and think "Aw, hell, what have I gotten myself into?"
Duh lol
Yup ... it was called "marriage".
You really go out of your way to get the most extremely grungiest things to restore. Where do you find them. You must have your own antique junkyard. You do a great job restoring everyone of your projects.
I go to a lot of antique stores and flea markets. Thank you!
So nice to see an item from the past being saved from a land fill. You do beautiful work!
I remember having one of those...REAL TOYS back in the day. No batteries, no electricity...just imagination and creativity. THANK YOU for posting!
Ah the days when toys were made of tin held together by metal tabs.
I wondered if anyone else would notice. Not a single screw or bolt in sight!
@@GEKay-xt2cq
It was a real art designing these toys.
@@GEKay-xt2cq yea i was thinking of that, no rusted bolts or screws or welding or grinding, excellent work albeit pretty straightforward , take apart, blast, coat, put together. still bloody good though
How many times can those tin tabs be bent before they finally break?
Those days seem like the good day where it doesnt take forever to put together
This dude uses insane equipment that I didn’t even know existed.
Like what? Powder coat?
M MMM probably talking about the sandblasted if I had to guess
@@MMMM-sm2rm buffing wheels too
He’s a little one man factory 👍🏻👍🏻
I was thinking the same thing.
The little bent tabs that we see so much in these restoration videos is such a brilliant technique. Wow kudos to the old makers
I would straight up sell my soul just to look at that beautiful shade of blue some more. My favorite color, in rare form, out in the wild. An awesome job 👌
The ding of the drawer opening at the end was very satisfying
Trust me. The creater of this must be proud of you because you re-do this thing
Unless they ded
Bloomy Boo they obviously dead but i belive he meant from heaven
How wonderful to see one of my most prized childhood posessions brought back to life. Many thanks.
I love vintage green ! 😎 cool . Amazing how you remember how to put pieces back
That sand blasting (don't know correct term)is soooooo satisfying
Yes, it's almost like rewinding time!
@@jasontodd8071 yeah true.
Your videos are wonderful! I hear so often that it is best not to restore antiquities, but I don’t think the “experts” that espouse that viewpoint can have seen how carefully, exactingly and lovingly you restore these items. It is so satisfying to see your process and the beautiful results. Thank you! ❤️
I am amazed by the folks that come up with the designs and plans of these things...blows me away.
These videos make me admire the work that got put in to originally making these toys.
Anyone else think the sand blasting is so satisfying 😍
Yes! It is!
Finally, YT recommendation worked as it should. Instant subscription!
Same! 🤩
wait
of you sand blasted your finger, would it be like a burn/blister or a sting?
It would be "blood everywhere" :D
Total skin removal
“Asking for a friend”
Sand blasting has the ability to put holes in your fingers and arms
Russians say about such people: he has a golden hands. Incredible work 👏🏻
Powder coating was awesome idea - maybe wasn’t a thing when the piece was made, though I have no clue how long powder-coating has been around, other than presumably longer than liquid painting. Outstanding restoration. 👏
I enjoy these allot seeing them go from rusted and withered to a amazing and brand new looking piece.
Am I the only one that thinks sandblasting looks very satisfying?
I had this same cash register. I love watching you restore old toys.
Impressive. You did a better job restoring that than it ever looked brand new!
It would be nice to have some historical info about the piece. Where did you get it from, what year was it made, etc...
My wife's gandfather invented the Tom Thumb cash register.
I really like these videos how do you get all of these antiques
I LOVE watching these videos of people restoring old things to their former glory!
My great grandma had this exact one! Generations of kids played with it but it still looked fantastic
That’s a beautiful restoration... with that powder coating... it’s better than original! What a great job you did!!!
Indeed.. I've never seen powder coatings used before so I've learned a new thing. I love seeing new techniques.
This is great job. We need more people like this that can restore instead of owners dumping object.
@Bryan this CR could be used now
That blue colour makes me happy 💙
I have to say, you sure make it look easy. For the life of me, I cannot see why 950 (aT this time) lug nuts can give this a thumbs down. OBVIOUSLY NOTHING BUT JEALOUSY ! !! !!!
Love the powder coating. This puppy will last a very long time now.
They sure don't make toys of this robust quality any more. It would cost a small fortune to make one of those from todays metal prices. I miss my metal Tonka truck.
“robust”
Hearing the bell was the perfect end to the video. I, like so many, had this toy. I also had the Tom Thumb typewriter as a hand-me-down from some daughters of friends of my parents. It typed pretty well for a toy typewriter.
Toys were well made and this is why you can refurbish them. Great job!
And I cant even assemble Furniture correctly with instructions
Pro tip: get rid of the instructions before assemblage.
IKEA?
I love it when he blows that thing on the rust and it makes it look almost brand new it is just so fascinating to me
My new obsession....watching childhood toys being restored! Move over, blackhead popping!
I love how back in the 1950s almost everything had that blue paint job.
I got one in 1966 on my birthday. I Still have it, i was 8 years old then.
I too had one when my brothers and I were children. I think I will go to my dad's and look for it. Ours was red.
@@fronniebealer7808 Mine is red too.
So you were born in 1958?
@@unordsmec , yep born 1958.
1959 here, I remember these types in stores where the numbers popped up and the toy ones like this
As a child , I had one of those, spent hours playing with it. Would put my stuffed animals on my tea set table and pretend to sell them. This video was like watching a time machine in action. Brought back so many memories. THANK YOU. BTW I also had a Tom Thumb typewriter.
That is so sweet! I hope you had a very happy childhood.
@@krystal1722 It is never too late to have a happy childhood. 😄
This is the coolest little old toy. You did a wonderful job. ♥
I had this register as a kid. This was wonderful to watch.
Only 4 videos and this guy is gonna break records on CZcams. You'll see.
That blue makes it looks 40's 50's and 60's. These pastel like colours were really popular at that time. Love it! And man were cashiers back then more simpler than these massive crowded ones we have today. I worked as a cashier at Canadian Tire and it just always got so confusing. I find that they have too many functions.
The ones today are crowded because they're safer employee with anti-theft features.
@@ricog8209 yeah I know which is annoying 😅, but I find the layout is very messy.
Seeing something restored in my favorite color just hits different 🤩
There's a local joint that's been around my town for YEARS, fancy place..the kind that makes you feel awkward if you walk in, in street cloths just for a carry out order. They have a big vintage cash register they use for their orders, the kind with the crank handle. I've always found that big gold cash register an eye grabber and the fact they still use it is great. They have newspaper articles framed from back in the day..we're talking WW2 era news papers. Place is ONLY open after 5.30pm so it's a dinner only place. Great food..kinda pricey though..haven't eaten there since the dark times started so I think I might go there sometime next month thanks to this reminding me of that register.
In my opinion this should be in a museum! It's that good of a restoration. Just seems like a very important piece, I really appreciate these videos. This is once again an amazing job!
Beautiful, well made toys. Now everything is plastic. :(
Yeah but plastic is safer. A good insulator of heat. While wood is too, children would be prone to get splinters from the wood chipping away over time.
As sad as it is to see the planet being infested with it, it's safer for the children. And cause less complaints from parents.
Not to mention, MADE IN CHINA!
@@andriealinsangao613 well China makes cheap things do you want 29.99 for a Small toy? I didn't think so
Andrie Alinsangao what is wrong with it being made in china that’s just a place
@@nevaehwhitebull3128 well it's a joke for it being cheap
doing the sand blasting looks like fun
your videos bring inner relief in a way i think you're rather manhandling my withered soul than aged stuffs
This man can reassemble anything.
Unbelievable what you can do with old toys. Do you sell them after? You have the patience of a saint. I am sincerely amazed how you breathe new life into these old toys. ❤️
Brings back memories. I've forgotten that my grandmother had one of these and I used to play with it as a child. I seem to remember the flags getting jammed up all the time. Good work.
I believe I had this exact one when I was little. ❤
these videos de-stress me, and idk why, but i love it
same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Because watching this restoration is orderly and tidy and comes to a neat, logical, satisfying conclusion. I love them, too.
I also love old things being made anew, instead if being scrapped or thrown away. Makes my "old soul" heart happy.
@@cachelnewbauer Who doesn't love seeing old things being restored? My brother in law has restored a lot of old wooden furniture and he's really good at it. I once suggested that he should turn his skills into a business and call his business the Morris Hardwood Furniture Restoration Agency. I even came up with an awesome slogan for the idea: "What type of wooden furniture you own is your business; helping you restore it is mine!"
Why do I actually want this so bad? 😂
after seeing this I got an old letter card holder that I plan to restore because your videos inspired me to start wanting to restore vintage stuff. This is awesome.
Sometimes I kinda just want to skip to the end to see the finished product but these videos are too good for that
Put all these videos in 2x it’s sooooooo much nicer to watch👍🏻
I find watching media blasting, oddly relaxing.
Kyle Gershman You don't mean watching the news with the volume turned up full, do you?
@@brabhamfreaman166 Lol...no. I've boycotted the news for years, now. I have enough stress.
Just found your channel this morning and watched this and the Tonka restoration. Wow what an amazing result to such beautiful old toys restored to new great job and I look forward to the next video
Oh my goodness! I had one of those as a very young child. Played with it for years and then my sister played with it to. It was well made. :)
