Q I have a double drawer NCR Register Number 3967906 with a serial number FR843814-ZZ and it’s missing a key for lock number E97116. I’ve searched a lot of websites and can’t find information on this model. Also, I’m trying to get a key and have found them on sites but am not sure how to compare lock number to find the right key.

A The serial number beginning ”FR” indicates your cash register has been ”factory rebuilt.” The numbers ”843814” indicate it was rebuilt in 1953 and ”ZZ” shows it was originally made in 1948. The letter ”E” on the lock indicates it’s the control lock. There are businesses that make replacement keys. One source for keys and other replacement parts is www.brasscashregister.net/keys. You can find information about collecting and dating cash registers at the website for the Cash Register Collectors Club, www.crcci.org.
