King of the Swamp Mechanical Bank

View Larger Image

This alligator is fiercely encouraging you to save those loose coins. Named the King of the Swamp, this mechanical bank is a new design based on the likeness of the original penny banks from the turn of the 20th century. A wonderfully nostalgic gift, the cast-iron parts are rigged with a mechanical function to launch your coins into the collection chamber. Place a coin on the smooth circle, press the lever, and the alligator's tail slams into the side of your coin for a quick deposit. Pull back the tail to lock into position, and it's ready to go again. This cast-iron bank will hold a minimum of $50 in silver alone, and a rubber plug is conveniently located on the bottom for painless withdrawals. The King of the Swamp measures 8 1/4" long, 3 1/2" wide and 3 3/4" tall. We'll have this alligator mechanical bank on its way to you by the next business day.
