We just the other day added several unique items for sale in our online Etsy shop.
One of these is a very nice, near perfect condition heavy cast iron bank. Called the Transvaal Money Box, this accurate reproduction was originally made in 1885 as much as a political satire as it was a useful item. Coins are put in a slot on top of the character’s top hat. As the coin falls it makes the pipe in his mouth jump a bit. See other details, more history and lots more pictures at our Etsy shop listing here.
We invite you to check out our whole store.

I t really is neat. The old cast iron banks are a neat part of Americana, even if a lot are so politically incorrect.
