Antique original cast iron Shepard Hardware Company Speaking Dog mechanical bank. Depressing a lever on the base near the dog causes the girl’s right arm to move back, dropping the coin placed on the tray into the seat opening that hinges right beside the girl, while the dog opens its mouth as if barking and wags its tail. The Shepard Hardware Company began producing these mechanical banks about 1882 but sold this line in 1892. This bank measures 7 1/4″ high and the base is 7 3/4″ long by 3″ deep. This bank is in good working order. This is a fun bank and touches one’s heart when you put this bank into action. Don’t miss adding this mechanical bank to your own personal collection.
