Description

Design by Edward McLoughlin - NYC. Unknown Maker - Pat.'d May 22, 1877. In reality, this unusual money bank is more of an adult gambling device than it is a child's plaything. It has been suggested that the Guessing Bank was used as a bar room novelty to amuse the patrons. The bank promises to pay successful players "five to one" if they call the number. As the odds are actually six to one, the house is presumably ahead by 16 2/3% at all times.
