RANDOM 341 OBJECT
RARE Antique MECHANICAL Bank, TEDDY AND THE BEAR w ORIGINAL Painted SURFACE-$910
Never did I think this particular bank would ever see the light of day, but things change. It is the best example I’ve ever found, and it works just fine. I believe it was patented sometime around 1906-07, but it says simply “PATd APLd FOR” on the bottom. The design is that of Charles Bailey. He was the master of mechanical bank design.
