They were invented by W. Brandt., a clerk in a local bank in Watertown, Wi. At that time, weekly pay was given out in cash ($4.56 a week?). To put the pay together for each employee, the clerk would have to count out the coins several times to insure accuracy. This was very time consuming. He came up with a mechanical machine that would accurately count out the least amount of coins to give the total amount required. The machines used in banks were cashier types which gave the total amount. The other types were changer machines that were used in business which gave out the change for the purchase from the amount tended.   This machine has been reconditioned, cleaned, lubricated, & adjusted. It outside panels have been nicely polished. You can see the reflections on the front, back and sides.   There is a coin holder. It holds: Two compartments for pennies One compartment for nickels Two compartments for dimes One compartment for quarters One compartment for half dollars One compartment for silver dollars. What makes this machine stand out from the other more common Brandt Cashier machines is the round, ornate front and the $ key. The other machines have a plain flat front and do not dispense silver dollars. This type of machine is more rare, desirable and highly collectable.  It has new rubber feet. All keys work and dispense the correct amount. Coins shown for illustration and NOT included. Place a Bid!
