-Pay Phone- mechanical bank c. 1928

"Pay Phone" is a cast iron mechanical bank created by Russell A. Frisbie around 1928. The bank is a detailed replica of a vintage wall-mounted pay phone, complete with a handset, a coin slot, and a dial with denominations of 5, 10, and 25 cents. The bank has a worn, distressed finish, adding to its nostalgic charm. It is a charming piece of Americana, reflecting the ubiquitous nature of the payphone in the early 20th century, and highlighting the evolution of technology and communication.
