This mechanical bank is a contemporary reproduction of the Santa at the Chimney design originally produced by the Shepard Hardware Co. circa 1889. The item is manufactured from cast iron and features a painted figure of Santa Claus standing on a blue base next to a brown chimney. The mechanism is activated by a lever located on the base behind the figure's feet; when depressed, the figure's arm moves to deposit a coin into the slot at the top of the chimney. This bank is confirmed as a modern reproduction by the use of Phillips-head screws, which are visible on the side of the chimney, the yellow toy sack, and the underside of the base. The piece is finished in modern glossy enamel paint in shades of red, white, yellow, and blue.
