Title: James Capron Clown on Globe Mechanical Bank
Post by: tsouth07 on December 27, 2009, 09:51:36 PM

I was wondering how much this is worth.  Perhaps you all can shed some light on this.  The bottom of the bank says replica of original of james d. capron collection.  From my understanding this is an old bank.  Please help!!!

I suppose useing the words ''Old'' should be defined. I'am'' '' Old'' but not yet antique. so should we use the word ''Vintage''? in this case reproduction average auction value. $ 50.00 to $ 75.00 Dollars.
