Mechanical Banks

Dealer: Clive Devenish

Location: Portland Expo Show in Oregon

Featured Items: cast-iron banks, mechanical banks, including an eagle feeding her young, a trick dog and Jonah and the whale

Details: Dealer Clive Devenish specializes in mechanical cast-iron banks. They typically cost a lot more to produce, so fewer people could afford them. Thus, there weren't as many to collect. The ingenious characters and images affect the collectibility of a bank. Rarity, age and manufacturer also play a big part, but condition is everything when determining the values.
