The mechanical action is both clever and entertaining: a coin is placed on the end of the rifle barrel, and when the lever located between Roosevelt’s feet is pressed, the coin is “shot” into a hole in the tree trunk as the bear’s head dramatically pops up from the top of the tree. This example works properly, with smooth action and strong visual impact.
The base is clearly stamped “J. & E. Stevens 1907” on the underside, confirming authenticity. Measuring approximately 9 inches wide by 7 inches tall, this bank has excellent size, weight, and presence, making it a standout centerpiece for any mechanical bank or Americana collection.
