Original Paddy and the Pig Irish Mechanical Bank English Cast Iron Painted Antique

19th century
Description

Mechanical bank probably by J.E.Steven's Company, Cromwell, Connecticut

seen as propaganda showing the disliking of the Irish immigration into the United States during the late 1800s.

The coin is placed upon the pig's snout and as the lever is depressed the pig's leg comes and the Irishman's mouth opens sticking out his tongue.

The coin is kicked onto the tongue and into his mouth as his eyes roll back in delight.

Good condition with much original darkened paint, old white overpaint to his face and the pig.

Rim chip to the base under his spirit bottle, bank cover lid missing.

Fully operational.

Marked English pat. date July 28, 1882. U.S. pat date Aug. 8, 1882.

7 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 8 1/4" high or 190mm x 90mm x 203mm high, weight 1814 grams

Guaranteed old and original.
