It is being listed with no reserve. This is the “TWO FROGS” Mechanical Bank manufactured by the J. The bank was designed by James Bowen and was patented August 8, 1882. There are no cracks, breaks or other damage and the bank is in. The bank retains much of the original paint which is still evident after all these years. The last picture is from an ad in Ehrich’s Quarterly in the winter of 1882. At that time it was referred to as the “Bullfrog” bank. To operate, a coin is placed on the coin rest held by the front legs of the frog lying on its back. The lever in back of the large frog is then pressed down. This causes the movable leg of the small frog to kick the coin from its rest as the large frog opens his mouth and the coin is deposited. The action is quick and effective. Releasing the lever causes the moving parts to return to their original position. The bank is in proper working order and has the typical Stevens’ coin trap. The bank is approximately 8 1/2″ long, 3 1/2″ wide and 4 1/2 high. This distinctive bank will make a great addition to your collection.
