(5170-D). Blue Dress, J&E Stevens & Co. Designed by Peter Adams. Circa 1900. "The coin is placed in a plate held by the girl. The thumb-piece is pressed upon, when the girl's arm moves quickly and deposits the coin through a trap-door in the bench. At the same time the dog opens and closes his mouth as if 'speaking' and also wags his tail."
