Model T at the Service Station Bank Mechanical Coin Bank
This collectible mechanical coin bank captures the iconic Model T, the first mass-produced automobile marketed to the middle class. The detailed replica depicts a service attendant performing full service, including changing tires and oil. To use the bank, a penny is placed in the attendant’s oil pan. Pressing a side lever causes the coin to pass through a slot and disappear into the floor below. Originally manufactured in foundry iron, this finely detailed piece is authentically hand-painted, making it a charming automotive collectible and a clever mechanical gift for enthusiasts.
