A remarkable survivor from the golden age of American design — this Art Deco Uarco Accu-Rite autographic receipt machine is the finest example we’ve encountered. Likely made in the late 1930s, the machine embodies the streamlined elegance of the era and was the undeniable design jewel of the line with a presence elevating it beyond ordinary office equipment.
Even more compelling, it remains loaded with original pre-printed receipts dated “194_” for The Home Appliance Company of Dodge City, Kansas, complete with the wonderfully evocative two-digit telephone number “67.” These untouched details offer a rare and intimate glimpse into small-town American commerce on the eve of the postwar years.
An exceptional piece for collectors of industrial design, Americana, or early business machines.
The machine measures 20 inches long, 8 inches wide, is 5 3/4” tall at the highest point, and weighs a little over 15 lbs. Chrome finish is in very good condition as is the green enamel finish. There are some minor surface rust spots in places on the bottom. Key included and lock works. Carbon paper roll is present along with a nearly full load of receipts. $99 (shipping available at additional charge)
