Bidspirit auction | Leap Frog - Iron Mechanical

Leap Frog - Iron Mechanical Bank - Made by Shepard Hardware. Buffalo, New York - Circa 1890. Sometimes mechanical banks portray small vignettes from a child's life. Here, for example, we find two boys playfully leap-frogging over each other. To operate the bank, start by setting the standing boy behind the one who is bent over. Now, place your coin in the slot found at the top of the tree stump. The activating button is on the reverse side of the bank. Pressing it, the boy makes his dramatic hop over his friend's back, and the coin is deposited. The trompe-l'oeil painted details deployed in the Leap Frog Bank are nothing short of amazing. The Robert Brady Collection. Condition: Pristine - Phenomenal Tree Details. Original Wood Box with Stains.
