The bank is constructed in two cast iron halves, joined with an original slotted screw, and features a coin slot integrated into the saddle bags.
The surface retains a dark, aged finish with authentic wear and oxidation consistent with age, adding to its rustic character and appeal. The sculptural detailing—particularly in the dog’s fur and saddle bags—suggests a well-executed mold typical of period cast iron banks.
A wonderful example for collectors of antique mechanical and still banks, folk art enthusiasts, or as a distinctive decorative accent with historical charm.
