I'll admit, this one even took me a second. This was found inside of a school that closed down around 2007 if I remember correctly.

Yo Nate, I think that might be a check-writer or an adding machine. No cash drawer, bro.

Huh, I didn't realize that before. Any idea why there are 10 of each number?

No '0's either...

That's an antique adding machine. I'm trying to think of how to word this so it's understandable lol... There are no zeros because you enter each of the figures one at a time. Say you were trying to get 6098... You'd press the "6" in the thousands column, you would press no button at all in the hundreds, "9" in the tens and "8" in the ones. Then you press the add button and then begin the next figure. Some of those are very rare

Each number button stays depressed until you lock it in and start the next number.

You beat me. It's technically called a comptometer, and it is indeed an adding machine
I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.

That's really cool, thanks guys. Now I want to go back and see if it still works.

Yup, as previously said it's a comptometer. More or less the great-great-grandaddy of modern calculators. They're actually really cool old pieces of kit if you like looking into old mechanical stuff.

I remember at school there was an adding machine like that one in one of the drama rooms as a prop.
I never remember seeing it in us, but did have an experimental press of the keys.
If felt very heavy, like an old typewriter.

It probably had tons of heavy gears inside to make it work.

Three print enlargers, left behind in a factory's on-site photo studio. With them were lenses and boxes of unopened, photo-sensitive paper.
