This charming cast iron Uncle Remus Mechanical Coin Bank is a high-quality licensed reproduction produced for The Book of Knowledge encyclopedia series in the mid-20th century. Faithfully modeled after the famous late-19th-century J.E. Stevens design, this piece captures all the character, movement, and folk-art appeal of the original while offering reliable mechanical performance.
The scene features the iconic cabin, fence, chicken, and figures that spring into action when a coin is placed and the mechanism is engaged. The underside is clearly stamped “Book of Knowledge”, properly identifying it as an authorized reproduction rather than an antique original — a detail appreciated by informed collectors.
Made of solid cast iron with hand-applied paint, this bank has excellent weight and presence. The mechanism works exactly as it should, making it both a functional mechanical bank and a wonderful display piece. Measures approximately 5.5 inches wide x 3.5 inches deep x 4 inches tall.
