Rusty Elephant Mechanical Coin Bank Restoration. 

I always try to answer all questions/comments. Please feel free to post below. If you enjoy this content, please subscribe. I am working to put out a new restoration video every week.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

I'm supposed to be doing housework, but got caught up watching this for the last fifteen minutes. This channel is aditictive. It's nice to watch a real artist at work.

that elephant looks absolutely more happy!

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

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

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

Какая прелесть этот старинный слоник)

И копилка хорошая и работа. Спасибо за хорошее настроение.

The best restoration I have ever seen on RU-vid for a cast-iron Bank, really brilliant...

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

Great restoration. I LOVE the old mechanical banks. It is so cool to see one brought back to life.

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 😁.

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

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. 😃😃😃😃😃😃

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

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

Cool job, thanks

Beautiful restoration Beautiful outcome and a precious item to keep and cherish stunning

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

You’re back!!! And with an awesome restoration!!!

Awesome! I love those old coin-flipping banks!!!! Great restoration.

So gorgeous !! That restoration is exellently !!

I’d love a narrative as to why each step is done and a simple list of steps in order. Love the bank ! Would love to see more if possible. Thank you for your patient work!

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.

Very nice. Good job!

Fantastic restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful piece you work so hard on ❤

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

Well done! 😃👍🏼

Absolutely want one🤗. Such a wonderful excellent job of restoration.

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...

I didn't know what the mechanism is for until the last seconds WOW

So neat!

Good job!

Damn, that Elephant is thick.

Oh! I love this one, how cute

👍😀

Wow amazing 👏♥️

I have the same bank at home!

Good job👍

Mammoth job, Stay Safe !!!.

I love it.😘

Original ! Très bien.

How did you know the part you made was missing from the inside?

Good Work Good Restoration 👌🏻👌🏻

Nice!

Ótimo vídeo Ótimo trabalho Um grande abraço

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

I preferred minimum restoration , preserve as it is like it is just made from a factory made

Fabulous.

A little known fact... This is also how real elephants look inside. 🌈⭐ The more you know...

Very cool.

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.

Super!

woooooooooooow very nice.............

I love slept so I really enjoyed this

鼻が上まで上がってダンクみたいにコイン入れると思ってたのに…。投げ入れるやな！それはそれで当時から凄まじい技術よな。

Comment #100. Such a beautiful toy!

Craftsman!!

DRĂGUȚ 🐘 ELEFĂNȚEL!😄😄😄

All the satisfactory ASMR feeling was just gone at the moment I saw him pouring the grey paint over the rim of the can.
