The image shows a vintage cash register made of wood, featuring a numeric display and two open drawers. The color palette consists primarily of various shades of brown, with touches of grey and white on the number panels. Positioned at the uppermost part is the glass display showcasing numerical figures, with the taller back area housing the 'Simplex Cash Register' sign. Below the number display, a long, inclined panel with slots rests, leading down to two protruding drawers—one with compartments for round coins and another with segmented slots for bills.
