Puzzle Description:

I took license with the slot and alignment, heck, I took license with everything. Check the spoilers for a link.

I have one of these, and was thinking of a puzzle idea...

It's a mechanical bank from the 1950s

I guessed Piggy Bank right away, then as I solved more I figured it was one of those contraptions that shoots the coin into the slot. I hadn't seen the spaceship variety before.

Kristen: I thought you'd see a parakeet staring at the sun ;-)

It does look a bit weathervane-ish :D

Cool puzzle Tom, did the same logic as bugaboo & Levi, no guessing, fun solve, thanks :)

Such a fun puzzle, Tom. I figured that was a coin slot. I remember seeing cool mechanical banks in the store, but never had one of my own.

I got stuck at one point, and almost peeked at the hints, but then decided to keep looking, and finally found that elusive pixel. Great challenge! :-)

You guys/gals are too kind, I'm sure you saw it immediately. I'll come up with something this weekend. I find I do better freehanding, although they will always be "garbage." Adding pixels when needed. Best,Tom

No guessing. You can get this type of contraption from the "Bits and Pieces" catalog. I bought a few as gifts about 15 years ago.

A bank? Fun solve.
