RARE MECHANICAL BANK “THE CAT BOAT” 1ST MATE STRUCK BY BOOM MODERN BUT QUALITY. HERE IS A VERY RARELY FOUND MECHANICAL BANK EVEN THOUGH IT IS MORE MODERN PRODUCTION. IT IS GREAT QUALITY, MADE OF VERY HEAVY CAST IRON WITH A TIN SAIL. THE ACTION IS PRIMED BY PLACING A PENNY ON THE 1ST MATE’S CHEST. WHEN A LEVER IS PUSHED, THE BOOM AND SAIL CHANGES DIRECTION AS IF IT HAS CAUGHT THE WIND AND HITS THE IST MATE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, BOWLING HIM OVER AND DEPOSITING THE PENNY AS THE EXPERIENCED CAPTAIN LEANS FORWARD TO AVOID THE BOOM! THE CATAMARAN IS AT SEA AS CAN BE SEEN AROUND IT. IT IS ABOUT 10″ LONG AND 13″ TALL. THE SAIL IS LASHED ON WITH ROPE AND HAS A BIT OF WEAR. IT IS A BIT BALKY AT TIMES TO PERFECTLY HIT THE HEAD, BUT APPEARS TO ME TO JUST NEED A BIT OF ADJUSTMENT. ALL ELSE IS SHIPSHAPE AND IT EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL TRAP (THOUGH NO KEY). NO MARKINGS, BUT I HAVE HEARD THAT THESE WERE MADE BY AN AMERICAN FOUNDRY IN THE 1970S/80S REA. I MUST RECEIVE PMT.
