Item Details
Description
Manufactured by J. and E. Stevens Company From an 1890 Marshall Field toy catalog: "Place a coin under the feet of the driver, and press the lever. The boy jumps into the road, frightening the donkey, and as he rears, the cart and driver are thrown backward, when the coin falls into the body of the cart and disappears."  The coins were removed by way of a round Stevens'-type coin trap underneath the cart. There are no color variations of the Bad Accident, but there are two casting variations. The differences pertain solely to the words, "BAD ACCIDENT" cast into the base of each bank. One variation, the more common of the two, is that the letters read upside down. This is the rarer version, with the letters right side up.
