Restoration Of Vintage Mechanical Coin Bank - FULL SERVICE 1932

Restoration of vintage mechanical coin bank from J E Stevens model Cast Iron Full Service Car from year 1932.

THE RESTORATION PROCESS
I dissembled the coin bank and sandblasted all the big parts. The small parts, such as screws, feathers and minor cast iron details got cleaned up in the mini tumbler. I powder coated all the parts with primer and hand painted all the details two times.

I found some old coins in the coin bank and I soaked them in olive chili oil for 4 days. And they came out super beautiful. The one I liked most was a Swedish 1 schilling from 1835. I will keep this one as my lucky coin in my wallet.
