Tonight I am listing an antique original cast iron Mechanical Bank. This bank is being listed tonight with . This is is the\"NEW CREEDMOOR\"Mechanical Bank designed byJames Bowen andmade by theJ.& E.Stevens Co. It was patented November 6, 1877.There are no cracks, breaks or other damage and the paint is still bright and strong.
To operate, the gun is cocked, which causes the head of the figure to tilt forward as though taking aim. A coin is placed on top of the rifle. The right foot of the soldier is pressed down and the gun fires the coin into the tree. The gun is made so that a paper cap could be used, thus giving a loud bang when the gun was fired. The bank works properly and has the traditional Stevens coin plug. It is approximately10\" long, 7\" high and2 3/4\"wide.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL buyers!
