Johnson's Coin Counter With Guard. A hand-cranked "Johnson's Coin Counter" for "pennies" from the Coin Counting Machine Co. Of Chicago and New York.

The design suggests the counter was intended to be mounted on a universal stand of some kind, perhaps with a pan-feeding tray on the side, but these components are not included here. The actual counter is a separate gear-driven mechanism on the side of the coin drum, from the Veeder Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut, patented on October 22, 1895. A metal guard partially encircles the top of the coin drum.

I have included the patent in the photos to show the construction on the device created from 1905 to 1918 in 1926 the patent changed to the new style. If you like patents you should look at my other items I have life size sales patents from the first hydraulic boat steering also in the 1950s.
