1920’s Cast Iron Hubley Mechanical Bank- Monkey & Organ Grinder

This popular Pennsylvania made bank is in very good condition. The operating mechanism of the bank worked well when tested and all the original cast iron parts except for a cracked corner piece on the coin cover are in order.

When a coin is placed in the monkey’s mouth and the lever is pressed below the monkey on the base of the bank, the monkey rapidly springs forward to deposit the coin into the organ grinder’s music box.

The bank measures 8 ¾” in length and only 3” wide at the base with the tallest figure standing 7 ¾” tall. The bank has some paint loss but most of the loss shows on the monkey’s head and neck. The key to the bank is missing.
