Ca. 1920’s KILGORE OWL SLOT IN HEAD IRON MECHANICAL BANK, NICE PAINT
In this listing we are offering a pleasing example of an owl slot in head cast iron mechanical bank. This bank was made circa 1920’s by the Kilgore Mfg. The example we are offering is a lot above average examples found as this variety of owl usually turns up with much less paint than this one has. The bank has only seen light use & the major majority of the all original paint is still present. The bank is in sound operational condition. When a coin is inserted in the head the eyes roll up & down. The bank measures 5 7/8 inches tall. The base is 2 1/4 inches long by 1 7/8 inches deep. The key lock trap is an old & professionally made recast & we do not have a key. The original trap would have had nickel plating as does this old recast trap which is an excellent rendition of the original. This item is inventory #11,507. Is an estimate and the actual cost may differ. International Buyers – Please Note.
