Lot 290 Mammy and Child Bank Gorgeous Red Dress Version Manufactured by the Kyser & Rex Company Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – Circa 1884 Originally marketed as the “Baby Mine” bank, the Mammy has long been popular with collectors because of the bright colors and the African-American theme. Coins can either be fed directly into the infant’s mouth from mammy’s spoon or thru her apron pocket. One of the simplest and most straightforwardly iconic banks ever designed. Material: Cast Iron and Sheet Steel Spoon Condition: Pristine Plus – Original Spoon Provenance: Leon Cameto Collection, Bill Norman Colletion Estimate: $18,000 - $24,000 107
Lot 291 Little Hi-Hat Probably Sydenham & McOustra Walsall, England – Circa 1925 There are probably less than 20 known examples of this bank. Material: Cast Iron Condition: Excellent Paint (crack to top of hat) Estimate: $3,000 - $5,000 Lot 292 Little Joe with Box Made by John Harper & Co. Ltd. Willenhall, England – Circa 1925 A common English coin swallowing bank, but truly scarce with its original cardboard box. Material: Cast Iron Condition: Excellent Plus with cardboard box Estimate: $700 - $1,000 108 Lot 293 Mason Bank Made by Shepard Hardware Company Buffalo, New York – Circa 1887 Though the racism in the “Mason Bank” is not immediately apparent, it is, nonetheless, right under our nose. The bank depicts two laborers. Who are these men? At fi rst glance, they seem only to be a mason, laying bricks with a trowel and a hod carrier, who brings cement to the mason. The mason is an Italian immigrant and the hod-carrier, with his fl aming orange hair and Leprechaun facial features is a bigoted representation of the Irish. Our cities were built by just these kind of immigrants. Place a coin in the hod and press the lever at the right side of the bank and the Irishman throws the coin into the bank. Material: Cast Iron Condition: Excellent Plus Estimate: $6,000 - $9,000
