"Tammany Bank" Antique Cast Iron Mechanical Bank
Description
Antique J & E Stevens cast iron "Tammany Bank," designed to satirize political corruption in the 1870's. When a coin is placed in the figure's right hand, the money drops into his pocket. Per AI via Spurlock Museum and two additional sources. With our rotund fellow, a dime does not move the arm, and a penny takes it more than half way, but still not into the pocket. Fabulous find. Patented Dec 23, 1873.
