Artillery, Union Soldier - Cast Iron Mechanical Bank
Made by the J. & E. Stevens Company. Cromwell, Ct. - Circa Mid 1890's. Upon its release, Stevens' polychrome version of the Artillery Bank found an immediate audience with children. The action of the bank is absolutely exhilarating. Pull the cannon hammer down and place a coin inside the cannon. This causes the soldier's arm to go up. When the lever is pressed, watch as the coin sails through the air for deposit into the fort's tower. Meanwhile, the officer's arm goes down, as if he has given the command to fire. J. & E. Stevens offered the Artillery Bank with either a Union or Confederate Soldier, which was rather extraordinary, considering the Civil War had taken place nearly three decades before its production.
Condition: Very Good Overall. Crack in man's leg and crack in baseplate near tower.
