Pitney Bowes Model CVS-1 postage metering machine

This postage metering device has a steel body with a handle. The counters on top read "0018988" and "892902." A denomination pointer on the top right side says "Pitney Bowes; Model CVS-1 S#58644." The device is in good condition, though there are minor surface scratches to the chrome, and there are remnants of wire attachments where the seal was attached. There are scattered abrasions to the machine platform and to the edge below the denomination choice. Red ink is still present on the meter head.
