This
a simple yet elegant trade card. Note the
discrepancy in the card's descriptions of the bank's action.
On the obverse, the wording indicates that the boy will
revolve six times if a half-dollar is deposited, while the
description on the reverse only promises four revolutions.
(Six times is the correct figure.) The
French's Automatic Toy Bank card is unsigned; it was issued
in 1888. It's shown here at 85 percent of full
size.
