Near Mint Hubley Trick Dog Mechanical Bank

Circa 1925-1935: Hubley produced the Trick Dog mechanical bank with the single part base in the 1920s or 1930s as the great age of cast iron toys and mechanical banks was winding down. The single part base was certainly and improvement on the bank's six-part base design of the 1880s, making it easier to produce and assemble in the factory and far less prone to breakage than its earlier counterpart. This collector quality example has survived in stunning near mint condition with bright saturated color and only very miniscule expected paint loss around the coin slot and nearly unnoticeable high point wear.
