About the Item

This solid brass and cast metal mechanical bell has no maker's marks, but believed to have been made in the United States in circa 1900. The bell is modeled in the classic 'fight bell' style such that when the arm is pulled back, the striker pulls back and hits the brass bell's housing. The cast iron back plate shows a simple raised pattern and the mechanism is steel. The hammer is wood, which shows age appropriate wear. This bell may have been used on a boat or in another commercial application and is quite loud when rung.

Mechanical Bank "Pelican, " Made of Cast Iron, circa 1878

By John Gerrard

Located in Incline Village, NV

The Pelican Mechanical Bank is made of cast iron and was manufactured by The J. & E. Steven's Manufacturing Company, in Cromwell, Connecticut in 1878. It was, however, created by John Gerard of the Trenton Lock & Hardware Company in Trenton, New Jersey. This is probably the best example I've had for sale and is in excellent all original condition and paint. Often times the top beak of the pelican is replaced or repaired this example has the original beak. There were several variations made of the figure in the pelican's mouth. This is the "mammy" example. The bank was finished in both a gold and a dark...
