Antique Toys Speaking Dog Bank – 1885
Price: $1400.00Antique Toys Dog Bank, manufactured by Shepard Hardware Co, designed by charls Shepard and Peter Adams, patented 10/20/1885. To operate the bank a coin is placed on the fan or tray. Then all the following happens when the operating lever is depressed - a section of the seat under the fan or tray opens - the right arm moves back dropping the coin into the open seat section - the dog opens his mouth as though barking (lower jaw drops down) - the tail of the dog swings up. On releasing the lever all parts return to position except the tail which is counter balanced so it wags up and down for a short period of time. A very fine action bank with most attractive coloring. Very good condition.
