Brand: J & E StevensCountry/Region of Manufacture: United States
Function: Gravity fedOriginal/Reproduction: Original

Original Description:
  Painted surfaces appear to be in original condition. I believe that the teller's wooden desk is a replacement. Otherwise, in good condition with no rust, cracks or signs of repairs.
 
This is the Halls Excelsior Bank, famous for the fact it is the earliest known and patented cast iron mechanical bank.That is quite a distinction for a cast iron mechanical, and it all started December 21st, 1869, when the patent was issued to John Hall of Watertown, Massachusetts. ...To operate, the glass bead bell cord is pulled, causing the top to lift into the position as shown in the photo. As the top lifts, a coin is then placed on the desk and the weight causes the top to drop back in place with the coin falling inside the building.
