The bank is being listed with. This is the “SPEAKING DOG” Mechanical Bank c1880’s made by the Shepard Hardware Co. It was originally made by the Shepard Hardware Co. And then later by the J. Other than variations in the painting, the only differences between the Stevens bank and the Shepard bank are the coin traps. Shepard used the conventional rectangular locking trap and Stevens used their regular round coin trap. This bank enjoyed wide popularity then and is still a favorite of collectors today. There are no cracks, breaks or other damage and has wonderful and bright paint with vivid patina. All the paint is original and the paint on the girl’s face is. On the plus side this is a real opportunity to make this superb bank a part of your collection. To operate, a coin is placed on top of the girl’s tray. Then all the following happens when the operating lever is depressed–a section of the seat under the tray opens– the right arm moves back dropping the coin into the open seat section–the dog opens his mouth as though barking–the tail of the dog swings up. On releasing the lever all parts return to their original position except the tail which is counter balanced so it wags up and down for a short period of time. The bank works properly and has the Shepard coin trap. The key is included. It is approximately 7″ long, 7″ high and 2 1/3 wide. A flash was used to highlight the color.
