Rooster mechanical bank (probably by Kyser & Rex as its construction and finish are similar to other banks by them). The bank still has most all of its original paint may be some early touch-up to the red paint on the head? , as is borne out by the pictures. The mechanism works this way: you place a coin at the forward part of the coin slot, depress the lever in the tail, and the rooster raises his head and opens his beak as if to crow. At some point that little lever broke off the main rocker arm, so to make the bank operate, you have to manually push the coin into the bank. T should be a pretty easy thing to fix, and because. Of the otherwise great condition. It might be well worth the trouble (I’ll leave that to the next owner). Sures 6 1/4″ high x 3 1/2″ across the longest part of the base, and makes a great display piece. Please check the pictures as they are an integral part of the description.
