When you are painting metal or glass, acrylic is never a good idea. I would absolutely recommend 1shot, Alpha enamel or Ronan. They are sign painter/pin striper enamels that go on much more opaque and can withstand wear much better.

When the cost of repairing something is more expensive than it, I consider it a waste of time and money, and I don't call it a hobby

Flicking the coin into the body was unexpected. I expected a gradual arcing placement. Great restoration...

Young'un. These used to be common. I knew a lot of kids who had one. I have a kitty and my brother had a coffin with a skeleton hand.

Vintage coin banks had such personality. More than my boring piggy bank.

My daughter would love that bank! She has loved elephants ever since she was little! You did a remarkable job!

You're not just restoring it, you're making it look way better than when it was new! Awesome Job!

I actually have one of these with the paint still pretty much intact...what a great find/restore job!

65 years ago, I got 2 different banks. At that time, the banks would give them to young depositors. I wish I still had them. One was the elephant and the other was a monkey. Took me back in time. Thanks.

LOL, I had (and I think I still have it) the monkey bank when I was a kid. Thanks for watching!

I love these old metal banks and enjoy seeing them brought back to life again. These came from a more innocent time, when children were still children with a wonderful imagination. Thanks for sharing this video with us and please remember that this Texan watches you with a smile on my face.

An excellently produced video. Instead of over-long shots of each stage, you showed us just as much of each process as would explain what you were doing and why. I appreciated the captions at certain points that told us what you were using and its purpose. A most entertaining fifteen minutes and a nicely restored piece at the end of it. Well done!

Nice!!!!! It was neat that you knew a part was missing. Your color mix was interesting. I am glad that you gave him new life. 😃😃😃😃😃😃

Вау! Класс! Никогда такой копилки не видела! Как раньше делали вещи... И как здорово ее отреставрировали! 👍👏💐

Brilliant loved the way the coin was flicked and not just placed in...kids would love that

Thank you for not cutting corners and so nice that it doesn't need batteries ❤

This was an excellent restoration! Great work. I can see that you have lots of skills!

IS THAT DIVINE BEAST VAH RUTA, MECHANICAL BLESSING OF THE ZORA’S DOMAIN!

Very nice. Good job!

What a fun little project - now you also have a spring jig. Great result.

Thanks. Simple, but I enjoy making tools I can use later. That jig can get a few more different size rods for different size springs, so it may show up in later vids. Thanks for watching.

I had one of these when I was a kid. It was so fun watching the coins get flung. Thank you for being able to see that again 😁.

The crosshead screws suggest a relatively recent origin. Nicely spruced up, anyhow!

@AcmeRestorations

3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, if you compare the casting detail to an original you can tell this is a knock-off. Maybe 80s -90s somewhere in there, but not too old for sure. Not sure those screws were the originals though. They look a lot newer, and usually these have slotted screws, even the newer ones.

Many of these banks are works of art . I hadn’t seen an elephant, it was restored beautifully. Makes me wish I was tossing my spare change into this. Must have been entertaining for children to save and encouraged them to keep playing with the bank.

Beautiful Job!!

Cute, CUTE! Made me laugh - THANKS! A bit of happy news in a sometimes drear world. More of the same please!

Nice one! Really surprising what people come up with for their piggy banks. And then make it out of cast iron! Well, those were the days before plastic...

The magnetic field at 2:53 is amazing... looks like Mr. Vice is watching your work. I like the way you make it "better than new".

Now that was cool! I also liked how you left off the collar on the Dremel. Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻

Removing the casting flash makes you a better workman than the original. The elephant comes out looking and working better than new.

I have this exact same bank with the original paint. They are actually pretty valuable... except for when you do this. The moment the flash came off it became worthless. It may look better than it used to but unfortunately, to a collector, it's ruined because it's been altered.

I do my research., and I almost never restore anything that is of collectable value. This bank is not collectable at all. It's a reproduction.
