Description

Unknown Manufacturer Probably produced in the 1890’s. A clever capitalist adage appears in raised letters on the top of the Atlas Bank: “Money Moves the World”. These words are closely tied to the action of the bank. To deposit a coin, the lever must be pushed leftward, exposing the coin aperture. When released, the globe spins several times on Atlas’ shoulders. Thus, in the case of the Atlas Bank, money literally moves the world. Material: Cast Iron, White Metal Figure and Paper-covered Wooden Globe

Condition

Excellent (Minor tears to globe paper)

Estimate $3,500 - $5,500
