Dentist Cast Iron Mechanical Bank — Hand Painted Reproduction
Whimsical cast iron “Dentist” mechanical bank, a hand-painted reproduction of the classic 19th-century design originally produced by J. & E. Stevens Co. The scene humorously depicts a dentist pulling a patient’s tooth, with a lever-activated mechanism that animates the figures. This version is clearly marked “Taiwan” on the underside, indicating a mid-to-late 20th-century reproduction.
Rendered in vivid enamel hues of blue, green, tan, and black, this sturdy cast iron piece offers both charm and nostalgic appeal for collectors of vintage toys and banks alike. A delightful addition to any Americana display.
