Description
Antique Sydenham & McOustra "Jolly Bank" Cast Iron Mechanical Coin Box - c.1910s
Description:
Genuine early 20th-century cast iron mechanical money box for sale. This is the sought-after English version manufactured by Sydenham & McOustra in Walsall, England (c. 1910-1930).
Unlike the common modern reproductions, this piece features the authentic perforated "grid" base—a specific manufacturing trait of this maker that is highly prized by collectors and often missing.
Key Features:
  • Mechanical Action: Placing a coin on the hand and depressing the rear lever moves the arm to the mouth while the eyes roll.
  • Original Patina: Authentic red and white painted finish with natural age-related wear and oxidation (no modern repaints).
  • Heavy Construction: Solid sand-cast iron weighing 1.6kg.
  • Dimensions: 17cm (H) x 14cm (W) x 14cm (D).
  • Condition: Excellent structural integrity with no cracks or repairs to the casting. Original central assembly screw is intact.
A fantastic investment piece of social history for any serious collector of mechanical banks or Black Americana.
Pickup/Postage:
  • Pickup: Available from Thornleigh (2120).
  • Postage: Can post Australia-wide via tracked Australia Post
