SPEAKING DOG MECHANICAL BANK

Sign In to see what this sold for

Red Dress, Stevens Hardware Co., designed by Charles Shepard & Peter Adams, patented 10/20/1885. The coin is placed in a plate held by the girl. The thumb piece is pressed upon, when the girl's arm moves quickly and deposits the coin through a trap door in the bench that opens to receive it. At the same time the dog opens and closes his mouth as if 'speaking' and also wags his tail.

Replaced trap, (Good Cond.)
