This is a vintage (reproduction) cast iron "Trick Dog" coin bank. You put a coin in the dog's mouth, press the lever, and the dog leaps up to deposit the coin into the barrel! And it still works! The man has a hole in his hand where a (missing) hoop is supposed to go. This cast iron mechanical bank measures approximately 8" x 2.5" x 1.75". There is a bit of rust on the man's face and by his shoe, and a bit inside as well. The stopper that holds the money in the barrel is missing. It's very heavy (hence the shipping costs). From a smoke-free home. Please ask questions as all sales are final. Buyer pays $13.00 shipping/handling (USPS parcel post). Will be packed with care to ensure safe arrival.
