Excellent condition, fully functional. Colorful original paint in gold, silver, blue, light and dark green, copper, red, white, black, dark brown, and yellow. The Indian kneels in front of a tiny tepee; stick a coin in the slot in front of the fish (in the Indian’s hands), press the tab (by the wood pile to the Indian’s left), and up comes a gigantic frog from below the pond as the Indian lifts his fish from the fire. Left to right, both sides of the bank (in bas-relief silver highlights) depict a papoose, a knife and crossed tomahawks, a male Indian bust wearing two feathers , braids, and large peace medal, crossed peace pipes, and a shield. No key, but it’s easy to retrieve coins by turning the small hatch underneath. The number “42” in orange paint seems to be a collector’s inventory number. Approximately 6 inches high by 10-1/8 inches long at base by 3-7/8 inches wide. This is one of three Stevens cast iron mechanical banks from this era–the others are Bear Hunt and World’s Fair.
