EAGLE & EAGLETS MECHANICAL BANK

J & E Stevens Co., designed by Charles M. Henn, Chicago, IL, patented 1/23/1883. Place a coin in the eagle's beak, press the lever and the eaglets rise from the nest, actually crying for food. As the eagle bends forward to feed them, the coin falls into the nest and disappears in the receptacle below.

Repair to pivot point of bird (VG Cond.)
