Description

This lot consists of two painted cast iron objects categorized as historical memorabilia. The bank features a lever-activated mechanism positioned on the figure’s left shoulder; when depressed, the right arm raises toward the mouth, the eyes roll upward, and the mouth opens to receive a coin. The first item is a mechanical bank in the form of a bust wearing a black top hat with a teal brim.
