Antique Magician Mechanical Bank
Re: Antique Magician Mechanical Bank
Save a couple of grand and buy a reproduction. (Beware - some are dificult to tell from original antiques)
I bought mine years ago at Bit N' Pieces. A catgalog company.
Think you can find this exact (NEW) bank here for $30 bucks.

I, too, bought a reproduction from the "Bits and Pieces" company almost 10 years ago. It didn't work well at all. I sent it back and bought the older reproduction (1970's) from John Mendoza for about $30. Works perfectly, and it's more collectable than most of that new remake crap some companies are selling. You don't have to spend a million dollars on something like this unless you're a true cast iron novelty bank collector.

Re: Antique Magician Mechanical Bank
Well, since the winning bidder (flinnermagic, who I believe is John Mendoza) paid $3581 plus shipping for it, he must believe it to be an original antique!
Re: Antique Magician Mechanical Bank
I also have a reproduction which cost me $14.99 and I compared it with the photo's and like you I cannot tell the difference. Almost makes me want to put it on E-bay.Originally posted by SPURLOCK:
