Original Punch and Judy Mechanical Bank

Circa 1884: The Shepard Hardware Company in Buffalo, New York, manufactured cast iron mechanical banks for a scant ten year period from 1882 to 1892 and is known for the high quality and beautiful paint schemes of their ingenious mechanical banks, most of which, like the ever popular Punch and Judy bank, were designed by Peter Adams, Jr. Having no chips, cracks, repairs, or touch-ups, this Punch and Judy mechanical bank is the small letter version and retains over 90% of its bright original polychromatic paint decoration. The bank works perfectly and has the proper bottom plate with all the correct patent information.
