Cast Iron Roller Skating Mechanical Bank Description Designed by RM Hunter, and manufactured by Kyser & Rex Circa 1880s One of the most attractive mechanical banks ever made It combines an appealing subject with nice action and significant rarity "Place a coin in the slot on the roof and press the lever; the skater glides to the rear or the rink as the coin falls into the bank and the man turns as if to present a wreath to the little girl" An interesting oversight in design is that the fallen skaters have no skates on at all Stunning example Provenance LC Hegarty/ Stanley Sax Condition (NEAR MINT)
