Manufactured in 1888 in Cromwell, Conn. Beautiful original condition includes the bat. Marked "Darktown Battery" on the base with two bats crossed over two baseballs. When in action, pitcher pitches and batter tries to hit while coin goes into the catcher's stomach. Appears to be the original trap. Some wear to base where coin hits. Embossed "Possums" on the batter's shirt. Nice crossover appeal between Black Americana, Baseball and mechanical banks.

Condition: (Excellent).

Item Dimensions: 10" L.
