This example combines an appealing subject with nice action and significant rarity to make up a quite valuable bank. Operates by placing a coin in the slot on the roof and pressing a lever; the skater glides to the rear of the rink as the coin falls into the bank and the man turns as if to present a wreath to the little girl. An interesting oversight in design is that the fallen skaters have no skates on their feet.
