Humpty Dumpty - Cast Iron Mechanical Bank - By Shepard Hardware Company. Buffalo, New York - Circa 1888. Humpty Dumpty is the most colorful and highly ornamented version of the ”coin-swallowing” mechanical toy bank. One never questions his enormous visual appeal. The use of primary colors, the bold ruffled shirt and collar , and his daring face markings imbue him with a genuinely powerful charm. With its broad accessible surfaces, the Humpty Dumpty bank is typically found in rather poor condition scratched up condition. But this example is extremely superior quality. Condition: Near Mint Condition.
