This Antique Organ Grinder and Monkey Cast Iron Mechanical Bank features a classic scene of a street performer and his trained monkey, a popular motif from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The organ grinder, wearing a hat and holding a small organ box, stands on one side of the bank, while the monkey, dressed in an orange vest, kneels on the other side. The mechanical action likely involves placing a coin in the organ grinder’s slot or on the monkey’s tray. When a lever is pressed, the monkey possibly moves or flips, and the coin is deposited into the base of the bank. The detailed craftsmanship includes vibrant hand-painted colors such as green, brown, orange, and red, though the paint has faded and worn over time, adding to its vintage charm. This bank not only serves as a functional object for saving coins but also as a nostalgic piece of folk art, reflecting the entertainment and culture of its era. Highly collectible, it's a fine example of cast iron mechanical banks from the early 20th century. Dimensions (H x W x D): 18 x 20 x 7 cm. Condition: Good. Location: The Netherlands, Tilburg.
