Product DescriptionOwn a piece of the Wild West and safeguard your change from highway bandits inside our charming Stagecoach Strongbox die-cast mechanical coin bank. The coach driver certainly knows how to keep his passengers' gold safe but you can discover his secret by placing a coin on the circle on the rooftop of the stagecoach, then press the button on the base, and the driver lowers the strongbox down over the coin and the coin vanishes into the bank. Celebrate the memory of the old west with this faux weathered Stagecoach Strongbox die-cast iron mechanical coin bank just off the dusty trail. Our finely-detailed replica coin bank is cast in foundry iron from an original then authentically hand-painted and distressed just enough to replicate a true antique. Makes a clever desk-top gift, a fun collectable, or an educational tool to teach children the importance of saving. Metal turn stopper on bottom allows for coin retrieval.Die-Cast Iron Mechanical Coin BanksCast Iron banks have long been treasured collectibles, popular in Renaissance Europe and even found among the tombs of ancient civilizations. In the US, mechanical banks became a household staple as 18th-century parents sought to reinforce Benjamin Franklin's aphorism: "A penny saved is a penny earned." After the Civil War, toy mechanical cast-iron models were produced en masse until about 1930. Operating with the drop of a coin or the push of a lever, these clever banks, produced in hundreds of different themes, sizes and personalities, were at once functional, decorative, and a delight to the eye. "Still banks" - so called to differentiate them from banks with mechanical parts - have also long been collectors' favorites. Because sought-after mechanical coin banks can bring more than $50K at auction, collectors have turned to fine replicas as a more affordable way to satisfy a love for these witty, novelty, cast-iron replica works. In fact, reports indicate that even replicas are growing in value! We offer a plethora of novelty mechanical banks to launch or supplement a proud collection.Product De tails Product Dimensions: 7 x 4.5 x 9 inches; 6 PoundShipping Size & Weight: 12 x 9 x 76 inches; 8 poundsSolid cast ironHand paintedA working mechanical bankIdeal desktop collectible_______________________________________________________Shipping:Our Shipping is FREE within the Continental United States ONLY.
