Description
This bank is perhaps inspired by "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Edward L. Morris, of Boston, Massachusetts, was granted Design Patent Number 16,120 for his invention of a mechanical bank entitled "Cabin Bank". This mechanical bank was manufactured by the J. and E. Stevens Company of Cromwell, Connecticut. The action of the bank is unanticipated, albeit effective in purpose. To quote the catalog advertisement: "Place the coin upon the roof above the"¦head, move the handle of the whitewash brush, and the "¦ will be made to stand on his head and kick the coin into the bank." Deposits are recovered by opening the round, Stevens-type, and patented, coin retainer underneath the base.
