About the Item

This wonderful bank has been in my collection for over 30 years, and I have had much fun playing with it. Made by the noted cast iron maker J.& E Stevens. These banks were sold to promote children to saving their pennies. This bank has rich original paint and the condition of the paint is very good. That is paramount in determining the value. No replaced or broken parts. You are buying the real thing. Watch the video and see how much fun you can have with playing with this bank.
