Shepard Hardware Co., designed by Charles Shepard and Peter Adams. Patented 11/16/1886. Brown face and red lips. “A very comical appearance is given to the face, the lower jaw being balanced on pivots and easily kept in motion. The coin is placed in the hand, and the small knob on top of the box pressed upon, which lowers the arm and opens the satchel to receive the deposit, the lower jaw in the face of the figure moving at the same time.” The trap is original but from another bank. From the Collection of Bob Brady
