Stevens mechanical bank called “Darktown Battery” circa 1880’s. The bottom of the bank has a patent date of Jan. When you place a coin in the hand of the pitcher, pull the arm back then press the lever, the coin is thrown into the catchers mitt. The mechanism works great. This bank sat on my shelf as great working display item and no one seemed to notice the following problems. The batter is missing the left side bottom of the arm, just some fingers remain. Please look at the pictures. There are parts out there for you to replace the bottom of the arm or have someone do it for you. The coin plug is missing on the bottom. Bank is in good conditions seen in the pictures, good original paint. Measures 7 1/4 inches tall by 10 inches long by 2 3/4 inches wide. Please look at the pictures and ask questions if something is not clear. To confirmed addresses only. I try to provide as much detail and information as possible.
