This Girl Skipping Rope mechanical bank was the top lot of the two-day sale, bringing $156,000. By J & E Stevens, this interesting bank is arguably the most coveted example for mechanical bank collectors. The clever design causes the girl to alternate feet and turn her head as she skips the rotating rope.
