Buyer's Premium:

Tin windup Mystery Bank (its a hand) and Brumberger Haunted House Bank lot of 2. Each toy works, with the Mystery Bank windup moving a hand that retrieves coins and retracts. The Brumberger bank lights up when an electrical contact is closed via coins on the doorstep. Its design is complex with moving doors and gears and a moving warlock or witch at the door, ready to pounce. Plastic trap not present. The felt bottom of the coin grabber is older hard felt and doesn’t pull back coins well. The door light works properly. Disney’s Haunted Mansion has a tie-in, as these were early merchandise for the ride. Spooky fun!

Condition: GOOD
