Tonight I will be listing some very nice original cast iron mechanical banks (see bottom picture for the group – this auction is for one item only). Here is a nice J. & E. Stevens mechanical bank called “Darktown Battery”. Circa 1880s. You put the coin in the hand of the pitcher, press the lever, the coin is thrown into the catcher’s mit. Mechanism works well. This is in very good condition – as seen in the pictures. Strong original paint. No break, cracks or repairs – which is hard to find! Mechanism works.
