KYSER & REX MAMMY AND CHILD MECHANICAL BANK. A scarce, and one of the more sought after banks that appeals to both collectors of mechanical banks and collectors of early American folk art. It depicts a seated black mammy feeding a young child in her lap. When coin is placed the child’s mouth, and a lever is pressed, the mammy’s head nods forward and her hand with the spoon tilts toward the child’s mouth, simulating feeding the child, and the coin is deposited in the bank. This bank came in a number of variations. This is the yellow dress version with red bandanna around her head. SIZE: 8″ h. CONDITION: Overall good. As typical with this bank, the spoon is an older replacement as is the trap, but both blend in well with the rest of the bank. Even overall wear, but very pleasing to the eye. 1-11768 (2,000-3,000) Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2012 Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price.
