-Dog Tray Bank- mechanical bank c. 1880

The "-Dog Tray Bank-" is a cast iron mechanical bank created by Louis Kyser around 1880. The bank depicts a dog carrying a tray with a coin on it. When a coin is inserted into the slot, the dog tilts its head and drops the coin into the bank. The bank is painted in green and white and features a decorative diamond-shaped pattern on its side. The bank's small size, colorful finish, and playful design make it a popular collectible for those interested in antique toys and mechanical banks.
