Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is a nice example of cast iron figural penny banks, which would display very well and make a nice addition to your collection.

Condition: The bank is in good used condition with no cracks, breaks, or repairs. It appears to be all original. We opened the bank and we could see the gold coloring on the inside but did not see any markings. The bank retains quite a bit of its original paint (~80%) with losses, which can be seen in the photos. The only thing we see is the fact that two opposing corners of the base are higher than the two other corners so the bank rocks when put on a solid flat base. Other than that, the bank is in very good condition. Because of the issue with the corners, we outline here we are selling the bank AS IS at a fraction of its true value. Please view photos carefully for additional condition information.
