Correction: The catalog indicates that this is the more common of the three; it is actually the least common of the three.

RARE GERMAN TIN MECHANICAL BANK: CLOWN & DOG. Of unknown manufacture, there were a variety of tin mechanical banks produced in Germany during the 1920s-30s. There are three similar banks: Clever Dick, Clown & Dog, and Saluting Sailor. This particular bank, the more common of the three, features a lithographed clown figure with a panting dog at his feet. When the clown’s arm is locked into position, the coin is placed in the clown’s hand, and the dog’s tongue is pushed, the bank is activated, lurching the clown’s arm upwards and the coin flies around in a circle and is deposited in the clown’s back end. This bank was damaged from use, and with the scrap drives during this time period, many of these banks were destroyed. Lithographed in a variety of pale colors, this is a nice bank. SIZE: 6-3/4″ h x 4-1/4″ w. CONDITION: Overall fair to good, bank needs a good cleaning and polishing to the lithographed finish. Iron key is present for lock on bottom of bank. Bank is complete and sort of functional, but in need of minor adjustment. 1-13139 (1,500-2,500)
