The banks are being listed with. And a reasonable starting price. The owner of the banks has reluctantly decided to part with much of his collection and continues that tonight. This is the “MAGIC BANK” Mechanical Bank made by the J. It was patented on March 7, 1876 to H. Prouty and manufactured by the J. The bank is in excellent condition and still has most of its original paint. There is no damage to the bank except a minor hairline on the coin slot on the roof, which is quite common on the Magic Bank. The second to last picture is from an old J. The last picture is from an ad in the Strasburger & Co. To operate, the door is turned into the proper position showing the cashier. It snaps into place. A coin is then placed on the tray. A small lever on the left side of the building is then pressed. The door wheels around quickly and the coin is deposited inside the bank. The action is basic but effective. For removal of coins a sliding coin trap is in the back part of the base plate. There is a large coin slot in the peak of the roof behind the chimney for larger coins. This is one of the few mechanical banks with two different coin slots. The bank is in proper working order and is approximately 4 1/2″ long, 4″ wide and 5 high. Make this special bank a part of your collection. The item “Cast Iron MAGIC BANK Mechanical Bank Original Antique Americana Toy” is in sale since Tuesday, September 22, 2015.
