Ideal Recording Bank with Clock - Made by Magic Introduction Company. New York City - 1890's - 5 1/2” Tall. Ex - Al Hancock Collection. This rare recording bank served two functions for the home. Seated on the mantelpiece, it would have provided a convenient place to save one's loose coins at the end of the day. Additionally, it featured as a timepiece as if it was a proper, albeit small, mantle clock. This is an exceedingly hard bank to add to one's collection. Condition: Excellent Plus Condition.
