Up for Buy It Now or best offer is an original J&E Stevens cast iron mechanical bank. Patent dated "January 23 1883" this Eagle with nesting Eaglets bank is in good working condition, with exception of the interior bellows are missing. Would have made a chirping sound when activated, most are dried up anyway. Also one wing has a little droop to it, that could be fixed. Coin trap is missing and can be bought on ebay. Condition of the original untouched paint, is the best I've seen on ebay in a long time. It truly displays great and I believe the paint alone, makes up for the mentioned wing and missing coin trap. There are no cracks or chips in the cast iron and no replaced parts. This would make a great addition to your collection. The paint on the bottom is in great condition, as well as the paint on the nest. There is a small metal tag attached to the nest by a wire (view last picture). I have no idea what it means, maybe Price tag? #20 made? or placed there by a child in the late 1880's? However seeing how it does not affect anything, I've decided to leave it on the nest. I will post many pictures to view, please enlarge. The white you see on the base is just camera flash. This item has not been cleaned and I will leave that up to the new owner. Shipping will be Priority mail $18.00 insurance included, to anywhere in the Cont.
