Illustrated with approximately 200 black-and-white photographs, this early-out-of-print book pictures and describes antique cast iron still and mechanical penny banks.

THE COLLECTOR'S AND DEALERS HANDBOOK OF MECHANICAL & STILLS  by Edwin Warman, , E.G. Warman Publishing Co., PA, 1955.

Where the photography in this book is mediocre, this book is a collector's item in itself and one of the earliest price guides published on the subject.  Each bank is identified with by name and value [see date of publication].   No information is given on makers and/ or dates.  Due to the rarity of this book, the book is an invaluable reference for the collector, dealer or historian of toy banks.
