This is a vintage, or antique, cast iron toy, and still bank, in the shape of a lion. PLEASE NOTE: the screw that connects the halves together is NOT ORIGINAL, but I have studied this toy very carefully, and I believe that it is otherwise ORIGINAL, and was made approximately 100 years ago. There are many fakes and reproductions out there. I am honest, and I always want my buyers to be happy. If I have been fooled by this, and you do not agree that it is original, you may return for a full refund, including shipping. The condition is FAIR. The paint is completely worn away. The letter "W" has been scratches onto one side of the lion. Some of the detail around the mane and ears are worn smooth. It measures 4 & 1/4 inches long, from nose to tail. It is just under 4 inches tall, at the head. Remember - the screw is NOT original. (It is a Phillips screw, with the screw head painted to match the lion.) Other than the screw, it is guaranteed to be old & original, or your money back.
