A charming cast iron “Trick Pony” mechanical coin bank, dating to circa 1970, inspired by the iconic late 19th-century American mechanical banks. The mechanism is fully functional: place a coin in the pony’s mouth, then operate the lever through the opening at the rear. The pony moves forward carrying the coin before depositing it inside the bank, creating the classic animated action these banks are known for. Finished in traditional polychrome colours with a blue base, white pony and hand-painted decorative details. A decorative and collectible piece, ideal for collectors of mechanical banks and vintage cast iron toys. Condition Good condition with minor signs of age and use. The mechanical action is in working order. Please refer to the photographs, which form an integral part of the description. Professionally packed and shipped with care.
