This is the sought-after English version manufactured by Sydenham & McOustra in Walsall, England (c. 1910-1930). Unlike the common modern reproductions, this piece features the authentic perforated "grid" base—a specific manufacturing trait of this maker that is highly prized by collectors and often missing. Key Features: Mechanical Action: Placing a coin on the hand and depressing the rear lever moves the arm to the mouth while the eyes roll. Original Patina: Authentic red and white painted finish with natural age-related wear and oxidation (no modern repaints). Heavy Construction: Solid sand-cast iron weighing 1.6kg. Dimensions: 17cm (H) x 14cm (W) x 14cm (D). Condition: Excellent structural integrity with no cracks or repairs to the casting. Original central assembly screw is intact. A fantastic investment piece of social history for any serious collector of mechanical banks or Black Americana. Pickup/Postage: Pickup: Available from Thornleigh (2120). Postage: Can post Australia-wide via tracked Australia Post Add Review Currently there are no reviews for this product. Ask Question Currently there are no questions for this product.
