Cast Iron Still & Mechanical Banks - History Types Makers / Rare In-Depth Book

Description

Illustrated with approximately 250 black-and-white photographs, this early-out-of-print book pictures and describes antique cast iron still and mechanical penny banks.
OLD PENNY BANKS – MECHANICAL & STILLS
BY John Meyer (Mechanical)  and Larry Freeman (Stills), Century House, NY, 1960/1979.
Where the photography in this book is mediocre, the captions are exceptional.  Each bank is identified with name, a brief description, and information on maker, dates, and patents when known.  Mechanical banks make up about three-quarters of this text.  Also reprinted are several catalog pages by such makers as Arcade iron Toys, The A.C. Williams Co., Bliss, Grey Cast iron Co., The Wing Manufacturing Co., and others.  This book is an invaluable reference for the collector, dealer or historian of toy banks.
6.2” x 9.3” gold-imprinted hardback in very good condition.  Approximately 110 pages (pages not numbered).
