The James Gillespie Estate Soldiers & Cast Iron Toys Auction
A one-of-a-kind original J.E. Stevens 1800s Bad Accident person matchplate sand mold was found in the attic of the J.E. Stevens factory before its recent demolition. This original sand mold was used in the production of the cast iron boy and mechanism for the 1800s Bad Accident mechanical bank, depicting the boy on the road who scares the mule from behind the bush. It is marked on masking tape from the factory as "Bad Accident." The mold was procured from the J.E. Stevens site in Connecticut. A unique conversation piece for any toy collection. It measures approximately 13" W x 18.5" H.
