Tinplate Bird Bank

Originally invented over 100 years ago by the German company Bolz, this classic tinplate savings bank remains a charming mechanical treasure. Place a coin into the rubber holder in front, turn the crank clockwise, and the woodpecker pops out, takes the coin in his beak, and deposits it safely inside his nest.

Key Features:

• Classic Mechanical Action — Turn the side crank and watch the woodpecker emerge, grab the coin, and tuck it neatly into the bank.
• Authentic Tinplate Construction — Crafted from lithographed metal in the tradition of early 20th-century European toy making.
• Charming Illustrated Design — Decorated with colorful scenes of woodland animals, including squirrels and bees, on a birdhouse-style structure.
• Working Lock & Key — Includes a key to unlock the bottom and retrieve your saved coins.
• Collectible Heirloom Appeal — A nostalgic piece perfect for collectors or as whimsical décor.
