You are bidding on a mechanical bank designed by John D. Hall for the J. & E. Stevens Co. with the patent date on the top of the bank. I have included in picture # 6 how visible the pat date of Dec. 21, 1869 is to the naked eye. This bank retains its ORIGINAL PAINT with no touch ups. When you pull the top knob the door opens and the cashier would appear, once he received the deposit the door will close. There is no cashier. There is some paint scratching on the roof but no damage to the casting. It could use a good cleaning but I will let that up to the new owner. This bank appears to be 5" tall and 4" across the front, and 3 7/8" deep. Good Luck! This is a great investment. It will increase in value faster than the stock market is this week.
Please check my other auctions this week.
