C1896 Antique Cast Iron Mechanical Bank J. E. Stevens William Tell Great Paint
Here is a mechanical bank manufactured in or about 1879 by J. It measures 3-3/4 inches deep, 10-1/2 inches wide, and is 6-5/8 inches tall. I believe it is in original paint (but I’m not an expert). A boy is standing in front of the castle with an apple on his head. You place the coin on the cross bow, pull it back and press down on Will’s right foot to release it. The coin is shot out of the bow hitting the apple stem, knocking the apple down and lifting the boy’s arm at the same time. A great antique bank in great paint and with the mechanism in good working order. There is no evidence of repair. I did not even dust it. Please review the photos for a complete description.
