American Painted Mechanical Coin Bank

I have reluctantly decided that after 60 years spent in this marvellous business it is, figuratively speaking, time to hang up my cheque book. I have therefore made considerable reductions to the prices of my stock. Still able to deliver to most areas, so if I can be of any help please do not hesitate to get in touch. A heavy cast iron American mechanical money coin bank with its original paintwork which shows some expected signs of age. This is named as the ‘Artillery Bank’. It is in good working order. A coin is loaded into the mouth of the howitzer/mortar. The arm of the artillery man can then be raised manually, the lever on the back of the gun is lowered then a small pedal is depressed, resulting in the gun firing the coin into the turret. The coin retaining plate on the bottom is missing, see photograph.
