Item Details

Description

The "Leap-Frog" bank was invented by Charles G. Shepard and Peter Adams in 1891 and manufactured by Shepard Hardware Company. Operation of the "Leap-Frog"t: a coin is placed into the slot atop the tree stump. The standing figure of the boy is first raised over the figure of the boy who stoops and is then snapped into place behind him. The lever on the backside of the fence is released while, simultaneously, the standing figure leaps forward over his companion's back. His right-hand pushes a square lever that extends from the tree stump, and which allows the coin to fall into the bank. Deposits are removed via a square key-lock coin retainer underneath the base.
