Description :

This listing is for a collection of three cast iron mechanical banks in the classic style of popular banks from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These banks are being sold as a lot and would make a great addition to any collection of vintage-style toys or coin banks.

Uncle Sam Mechanical Bank: This bank features Uncle Sam standing with a valise at his feet. When a coin is placed in his hand and a lever is pressed, his arm moves to deposit the coin in the bag. The paint on this piece shows some wear, particularly on the base and hat.

Paddy and the Pig Mechanical Bank: This bank depicts a figure of an Irishman wrestling with a pig. The mechanical action involves placing a coin on the pig's nose, which is then kicked into the figure's mouth. The bank is in good cosmetic condition with some paint wear.

Humpty Dumpty Clown Mechanical Bank: This bank features a clown figure, and the action involves placing a coin on his tongue, which is then deposited into the bank when a lever is pressed. The bank is painted in classic clown colors, with some wear on the paint consistent with age.

These are cast iron reproductions that appear to have some age and a patina consistent with vintage items. The paint shows wear, chipping, and fading on all three pieces. The mechanical actions for all three banks are functional. Please examine the photos carefully as they are part of the description and show the exact condition of the items you will receive.
