The banks are being listed with no reserve. The owner has decided to part with much of his collection and continues that tonight. This is the “BAD ACCIDENT” Mechanical Bank circa 1890’s manufactured by the J. It was designed by Charles Bailey and is one of the most popular of the mechanical banks. There are no cracks, breaks or other damage and still retains much of its original paint. This is a fine action piece, well proportioned with a clever subject matter. This bank is a truly wonderful example of the “Bad Accident” bank. The last picture shown is from the Chas. To operate, a coin is placed under and between the shoes of the driver. A two part lever beside the cattail is then pressed together. Immediately the boy darts from behind the plant and turns facing the front. At the same time, the donkey, frightened by the boy, rears up on his hind legs. This causes the cart to tilt back. In turn the coin slides from between the shoes of the driver back into the provided slot. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to make this attractive and unique bank a centerpiece of your collection. The bank is in proper working order and has the typical Stevens’ coin trap. Coins are removed from the trap located on the underside of the cart. The bank is approximately 10 1/2″ long, 3 1/2″ wide and 6 1/4 high. The item “Cast Iron BAD ACCIDENT Mechanical Bank Original Antique Americana Toy” is in sale since Saturday, November 12, 2016.
