    Picked up this old mechanical bank recently. Found out when and where it was made but was wondering if something like this is worth having restored. The casting on Santa's two feet have come apart and it looks like someone tried to rewire the operating mechanism. I really like this bank but is a restoration worth it? Would it lower the value or help it out? Also wondered if there are people that specialize in this. Appreciate any responses back.
