Description

A mechanical bank depicting a scouting camp scene, designed in the style of the original early 20th-century J. and E. Stevens Co. model. The bank is constructed of cast iron and features three-dimensional figures including a scout in a yellow uniform holding a red flag, a second scout emerging from a teepee, and an owl nestled within the branches of a tree. The red flag is embossed with the text BOY SCOUTS CAMP across three lines. The scene is set on a textured base painted in green to simulate grass. The mechanism is triggered by a side-mounted lever which causes the scout to move his arm and the owl to shift. The bank is assembled from separate cast sections secured with screws. The underside is open with a central well for coins, fitted with a modern black rubber stopper. No manufacturer marks or patent dates are visible.
