Eagle and Eaglets - Iron Mechanical Bank - Originally Marketed as the Eagle Bank. Green Base - Great Red & Black Details. Made by the J. & E. Stevens Company. Cromwell, Connecticut - Late 1880's. As a selling angle, Stevens emphasized the patriotic theme of this bank by simply designating it the ”Eagle Bank”. Place a coin in the eagle's spring-loaded beak and press the snake shaped lever found behind her tail feathers. Witness as she leans forward, majestically spreading her wings. In the same moment, her chicks rise up up meet her as she drops your coin into their nest. Very outstanding quality here. The Robert Brady Collection. Condition: Near Mint Paintwork and Patina. Lot Includes Original Wood Box.
