FROM MY OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION , THIS IS THE REAL DEAL! THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC CAST IRON TOY “CIRCUS” MECHANICAL BANK FROM THE 1880s IS ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST DESIRABLE OF MECHANICAL BANKS, SCARCE AND IN VERY PRESENTABLE CONDITION FOR DISPLAY! THE BANK WORKS AS IT SHOULD, YOU CRANK THE HANDLE AND HE DRIVES THE CART AROUND AND RAISES HIS HAND TO KNOCK THE PENNY INTO THE WELL. THIS BANK IS ORIGINAL CASTING AND MOST PAINT APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL , THE HORSE MAYBE HAVE PAINT TOUCH UPS, IT LOOKS “TOO GOOD” TO ME SO TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THAT AREA, BUT OVERALL YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY FINE CONDITION ORIGINAL BANK WITH ALOT OF OLD ORIGINAL PAINT LEFT, IT DISPLAYS BEAUTIFULLY AND IT DOES WORK AS IT SHOULD! IT HAS THE TRAP INTACT AND WORKING, not repro! AND AN ORIGINAL SHEPARD KEY. THESE OFTEN HAD THE CRANK HANDLES REPLACED OVER TIME,, SO THIS CRANK HANDLE MAY OR MAY NOT MIGHT HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT SOME POINT, I CANT TELL. I DONT SCREW AROUND WITH MY BEST TOYS. THIS IS ONE OF THEM AND WOULD BE A HIGHLIGHT IN ANY BANK COLLECTION. TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK. PLEASE SCRUTINIZE MY PHOTOS.
