GENUINE "Dinah" mechanical bank or "Money Box"

She was made by the PROLIFIC British Cast Iron Bank & Money Box makers John Harper & Company

AGE = Circa 1911

She was UNIQUE in being a FEMALE bank, while all others were Black MEN or Black BOYS (Am I still allowed to call them "Boys" ?)

This ORIGINAL concept was invented & PROTECTED with a Registered Design Number in 1911

This DESPITE Harper & Co.'s OWN criminal breach of Patent on the Jolly N****R Bank design

That they had STOLEN from the J.& E. STEVENS Company in USA who had legally inherited the Copyright from the Shepard hardware Co original INVENTORS of mechanical coin banks

This is the FIRST MODEL with a 2-piece Cast IRON arm, later examples were fitted with a 2-piece Pressed STEEL arm Circa 1920

This "Dinah" is in 100% complete and in PERFECT WORKING ORDER

NO missing parts or bolts

NO damage

NO repairs

NO paint retouching all paintwork is 100% ORIGINAL

Retains original "Made in England" marked base-plate

Realistic reserve for ONE OF THE BEST "Dinah" 1st types that I have ever listed here on TradeMe ...........But there IS a BIN price, if you do tend to find the auction process tedious ? :-)

This bank would make a SUPERB addition to any Negrobilia or Mechanical Bank collection
