This antique cast iron mechanical bank depicts a dentist pulling a tooth and will make a great addition to any collection. I believe this piece was manufactured in the United States and is an original, not a reproduction. It is a mechanical bank, meant to be operated by placing a coin in the slot and pulling the lever. This particular bank is in working condition and is a highly sought-after item among collectors of banks, registers, and vending machines. The patients arms have broken but the pieces are there. It would be a great conversation piece or display item for any home or office. They have all been reproductions. Please look at the pictures carefully as they’re part of the description. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Check out my other listings! Thank you for your interest!
