With October just around the corner, the long awaited mechanical bank sale is only four weeks away. At 12 pm on Oct. 27, Morphy Auctions will hold the sale of the Stephen and Marilyn Steckbeck’s Mechanical Bank Collection. Considered by many to be the finest collection of its type ever assembled, the Steckbeck mechanical banks will be auctioned in a special one-day sale at Morphy’s Auctions’ gallery in Denver, PA, adjacent to the Adamstown antiques strip. All forms of bidding will be available, including live via the Internet through www.eBayLiveAuctions.com.

Many unique mechanical banks will be available as Morphy’s chief operating officer, Dan Morphy says, “Within the 450 lots to be sold are some of the greatest rarities of the mechanical bank world – a Secor Freedman’s bank, a pedestaled Jonah Emerges, a J&E Stevens Fowler, a Kyser & Rex Mikado, and a Harlequin, Clown & Columbine, among many others."

If you haven’t ordered your Steckbeck Mechanical Bank Catalog, now is the time. Catalogs are required for admittance into the sale. They are $75 with a $5 shipping fee. For additional information, call 717-335-3435, e-mail morphy@morphyauctions.com or log on to www.morphyauctions.com.
