Please contact me: fondelle @ gmail.com. Your bank sounds like an original with the door on the back. I could share links to all I could find about the Uncle Sam banks.<br /><br />An article http://www.mechanicalbanks.org/scrapbook/1980s/pages/1982_shepard_banks.htm says, "Shepard entered into the mechanical bank field in about 1882 and available information indicates they sold out their line of toy banks in 1892." Dunno if the buyer sold them after that.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919920961247644963.post-55130105278627403322018-10-12T11:02:48.813-04:002018-10-12T11:02:48.813-04:00Found an Uncle Sam Bank that I believe is original...Found an Uncle Sam Bank that I believe is original. Most of the paint is gone but enough on the parts to identify its color at one time. Has the door on the back which looks like a mini safe door once you open it. I have a key and it's marked "MILLERLOCKCO" across the top with "PHILA U.S.A" with "3-22-88" on it. I just started my research and am trying to narrow down a possible date as to when this was made. I've read they were reproduced in the 1920's. Are there any differences between the ones made in 1886 through 1913? Will gladly send a photo of the key and bank.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152389345695045004noreply@blogger.com
