Teddy and the Bear - Cast Iron Mechanical Bank - Made by the J. & E. Stevens Company. Cromwell, Ct. - Circa 1910. Made of Cast Iron. The imagery portrayed in this remarkable bank draws from an actual incident from Teddy's adventurous life. While hunting for bear in the south, Roosevelt exhibited great compassion for the well-being of an injured and sick bear, giving him a reputation as animal rights advocate. Works well. Part of the William Werbell Collection. Condition: Very Fine Condition.
