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. This is a heavy cast iron American mechanical coin money bank with its original paintwork which shows some expected signs of age. This is named as the ‘Speaking Dog’ A coin is placed on the paddle held by the lady, she pats the dog with her free hand, a lever is depressed, the seat next to the lady opens, she lowers her arm and drops the coin into the opening, the dog wags his tail. This bank is in very good original condition. The coin retaining plate on the bottom is missing, see photograph.
