Real & Reproduction Banks

Collectible Treasures : Episode COL-1103 -- More Projects »
Host Sharon Anderson and dealer Clive Devenish explain the difference between original mechanical banks and reproductions. First, there are three different kinds of reproduction:

  • The first type is one made from a pattern, which is very rare.
  • The second type is a reproduction that was made from an original example.
  • The third type is a reproduction of a reproduction. A few ways to tell the difference is by casting, paint condition and size.
