Rex on June 13, 1882.  I guarantee that this Organ Bank is original and not a reproduction.   The organ bank operates by placing a coin on the tray which is raised to position by turning the crank on the left side of the bank.  In doing so, the monkey lowers the tray and the coin slides forward into the organ.  The monkey tips his hat.  When the lever is turned, the cat and dog revolve and a bell rings inside the bank.  The bottom door is missing from the bank as shown in the picture.   Winning bidder will be required to pay USPS priority shipping, insurance and tracking fees.  Payment due within three days of end of auction.  Item(s) will be sent within a couple of days after receipt of PayPal payment.  Please ask all your questions before bidding.  I pride myself on being as thorough as possible and may have overlooked something you consider important.  Therefore, if you have any question, please feel free to contact me.  I usually respond within a day.  Item(s) are sold “AS IS” and will not be mint unless so described.  I try to describe the wear and tear as best I can, and hope that if there is an issue you consider important, please email me before bidding.   BUY TODAY!!!
