This is an old metal child's savings bank. The"Magician Bank" would work by the child putting the coin to be saved on the little round part of the magician's table. By pulling a lever, the magician would cover the coin with his hat. Simultaneously, the little trap would open and the coin would slide down the red chute at the back of the table, into the magician's leg's and then into the coin storage. Releasing the lever would raise the magician's arms and "Voila!" - the coin would have disappeared! I don't know it this is exactly "retro' or not but it certainly is cute.
Hello Endre,
Beautiful lighting and lovely colors make this a fine entry. The detail is so nice and sharp, I like how the grain of the cast iron shows so so much texture. Well done!

Gee, Steve, that's disappointing! I had hoped to amaze you every now and then. Just kidding... I assume you meant "cease" rather than "seem" Glad you like it!
All best wishes,
Endre

Sorry about that buddy. "Cease" is exactly what I was saying. But then you knew that already. My bad.
