This bank is all original and has a working and completely Original door mechanism. The bank comes with a reproduction key which was made from a casting of an original key. It all works as intended. Locks and opens with the key. The bank measures a huge 5 7/8 High x 4 3/4 Wide x 4 1/8 Deep. This is the Rare Early Model Patent Applied For!!! That puts it before the actual patent of August 17th 1897. This is the only J & E Safe Bank #40 I have ever seen with the Patent Applied For!! See Photo of Bottom. The bank shows patina one would expect from a cast iron nickel plated bank that is well over 100 years old. The bank has 2 hair line cracks near the bottom that do not affect it structurally. Very rare to find one that is patent applied for has a key and has not been broken.
