PRODUCT DESCRIPTION :
Uncle Sam's 3 Coin money bank.
Manufactured in the USA by the Durable Toy & Novelty Corporation.
They were in production in varying forms from 1907 until the late 1950's.
This particular model dates circa 1940's /50's
It is in working condition and has a lovely 'shop till' like sound when a coin is deposited and the lever pulled.
Depositing more than $0.25 into the available slot and pulling the lever registered the amount of the deposit on a counting wheel and locked the money away inside the bank. The only way to access the cash in this mini-vault was to add more money (nickels, dimes, quarters) until the register hit $10 (and displayed 00 on the counting wheel.) Only then would the front panel of the bank unlock to provide unfettered access to the saved funds within.
The Bank currently has two NZ coins in registering 30 cents and the front panel is locked.
The first Uncle Sam registering banks appeared on shelves in 1907, a product of the Durable Toy & Novelty Company, which had offices in Cleveland, Ohio and Hackensack, New Jersey. True to the company’s name, the banks were made of heavy gauge steel with enamel paint.
