This is a wonderful and substantial vintage brass mechanical bank featuring the classic "Bear Stealing Pig" motif. This detailed collectible coin bank is constructed of heavy brass or bronze-tone metal, weighing in at 1 lb 1.4 oz, giving it a solid antique feel. The intricate design shows a standing bear holding a small piglet in its paws, which is typical of the charming, often humorous mechanical banks popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While some versions are known to be functional mechanical banks, this piece is a beautiful, highly detailed still bank reproduction in the style of those valuable originals. It serves as an excellent piece of nostalgic decor for a desk, bookshelf, or collection.

Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition. The brass finish shows a lovely, deep, and aged patina consistent with its vintage nature. It is structurally sound with no cracks or major damage. Please note that this appears to be a high-quality, heavy reproduction still bank for coin storage, not a moving/action mechanical bank.
