This toy bank is a little larger than the Ben Franklin bank I showed earlier.
Also has a bell that rings when you pull the lever but only has a single slot for the coins. Very Art Deco!

Thanks again Hedgewalker!
Hey Perry, After you get all those banks full, you can get some more signs. Looks like you're having a good hunt so far this weekend. Nice pieces!!
Hey thanks Tommy and officialfuel! My wife actually found these last weekend but I didn't get to shoot the pics till today.
Right Tommy! Although at 10 bucks a bank, it would have to be a pretty tiny sign;)
Hey thank you officialfuel!
Beautiful bank! I would say it's more Art Nouveau in style rather then Deco though.
Please don't take that as a snooty remark. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I ment to say Art Nouveau instead of Deco.
Thank you Vintagemad!
Thanks Bernie!

Just saw the exact same bank at an antique store today. Very cool.
Thank you elayem! What were they selling it for?
Thanks mrcolorz and mrmajestic!
I don't remember exactly, but I think it was somewhere around 40 or 50 bucks.
Ok, that sounds about right depending on condition, thank you!
