ORIGINAL WOODEN BANK BOX FOR THE CLOWN GLOBE BANK. In most cases the wooden boxes that were made to hold the mechanical banks are much rarer to find than the banks themselves. Normally the bank was taken out of the box, and the box was tossed or used for some other purpose, so over the years very few of these have survived. The Clown on Globe was originally sold as the Funny Clown bank and was later referred to as the Clown on Globe. Box is tongue & groove and came with a slide lid. Box is also imprinted “No. 1332, Funny Clown Bank, Manufactured by the J&E Stevens Co., Cromwell Connecticut” and had directions on how to operate the bank. SIZE: 9-1/4″ h. CONDITION: From age box shows discoloration of wood, some slight staining, some wear to the lettering on front of box, and some loss of wood where top edge of box slides together. 1-11117 (900-1,100)
