This bank is 100% original in very goodcondition. It was patented November 12, 1875.Based on the patent date, this bank wasproduced to take advantage of the 100-year milestone in America’s history, andthe Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876.It features a patriotic eagle finial, abell and manual ringer, and a pleasing patina.Some say the bell was a counter servicebell. Some say the bell was for recognizing a coin deposited that appealed tochildren. (I like the second one.)It is... embossed across the top with “PENNIESFIRST THEN DOLLARS”.
