Circa 1873:Â Portraying corrupt 19th century Democractic New York politician William "Boss" Tweed, the Tammany Bank is one of the most popular mechanical banks produced by Cromwell, Connecticut's J & E Stevens Company and designed by John Hall. This spectacular Tammany is the finest example we have owned in our twenty years in the trade and survives in pristine condition with over 95% of its bright original paint and no chips, cracks, or repairs. This bank is common as far as mechanical banks go, but it is extremely rare to find a Tammany in such fantastic condition. This is a great bank for an advanced collector who has been waiting for a top flight Tammany to surface on the open market or is looking for a serious collection upgrade.
