About the Item
This lithographed tin coin bank was produced in Germany in circa 1935 in the period Art Deco style. The bank is shaped like a coin box with a man's face on the front. When the lever is pulled, the man's eyes close and his tongue appears which a coin can be placed on which gets pulled back into the bank. The lithography of the bank is brightly colored and there is a rhyme on the front panel that reads: "Press the lever lightly. Make my tongue appear. Save a penny nightly. Make your fortune here." The bank is clearly marked "Made in German".

- American Mechanical Bank "Melody-Bank, " circa 1946Located in Incline Village, NV"Melody-Bank" is a rare bank and was manufactured by "Electric Coding Machine Co., N.Y.C." in 1946. American made, this is a genuine and authentic vintage mechanical bank, albeit somewhat later, having been manufactured in 1946. It maintains all of the elements of a collectible antique mechanical bank; pleasing shelf appeal and wonderful musical action. The metal faux textured, green painted casing on five sides is fronted by cardboard on wood, filled with delightful images of "children at play with money" lithography. To operate: Wind up the mechanism by turning the brass dial in front clockwise; then put a nickel, dime, or quarter in the appropriate slot at the top. Music will play as additional lithography depicting children's nursery rhymes rotate on the interior circular dial ("Little Boy Blue", "Mary Had A Little Lamb", etc.). Coins are removed by unscrewing the metal plate at the rear bottom. Bank is in excellent all original condition with fully operable musical mechanism. Dimensions: 7" high x 4 9/16" wide x 3" deep.
