We were excited to watch this great item sell this week. This antique bank offered us an opportunity to watch the bidding process unfold for a rare and collectible item.
This is the HALL’S LILIPUT BANK - an antique Cast Iron Mechanical Bank, with patent dates from 1875 and 1876! It retains little of its original paint, but is still in great working condition, with a surprising amount of detail in the cast body of the bank. After only two days running, it had 8 bids from 6 different bidders, at just a fraction of its potential worth. By the time the dust had cleared from the bidding war it saw, this bank had 20 bids for a total sale of $375.71!
There are lots of collectible banks out there, and each has a chance to be worth a bundle! Whether yours is a still bank or a mechanical bank, with original paint or in need of restoration, Auction Bay can sell it for you!
