Description:
This is a Vintage Hackensack Mutual Savings New Jersey Mechanical DIME REGISTER ALL METAL Bank that works well and opens with TWO separate keys. Bottom of bank was mutlated by someone to get the money out. They probably did not have a key. Place a dime in top slot . Push Lever and amount changes. If you check one photo you will see it is $2.20. I placed 3 dimes inside(not with bank when sold) and the AMOUNT CHANGED TO $2.50. Needs a good cleaning. Either KEY opens Bottom of bank by turning key halfway around.
