Description
Made by J. & E. Stevens Company. Cromwell, Connecticut - Late 1880's. The imagery for this bank was inspired by the controversial debate that arose after Darwin's publication of The Origin of Species. The monkey is depicted with an opposable thumb and his demeanor is clearly marked with great charm and intellect. After all, he outwits us and grabs our coins with each playing of the bank.
