Another coin Bank I've had for a long time. It's very heavy with lots of detail. It's a nice piece and looks great on the shelf with other collectibles.

Nice , i’m going to Texas

In AR, we generally refer to (real) armadillos as "speed bumps" but whatever -- this *does* look like a lovely example of a brass coin bank! :-) :-) :-)
The last pic is the way I remember them on the side of the roads.
^^^ (what bb2 said) <lolol>
That's funny I just sat down and was watching a movie supposedly filmed in Texas. In the first minute there was one on the side of the road on its side.
been in Texas several times, and I never saw one.
Are they as numerous as groundhogs are here on the east coast?
I dunno. I live in Washington state so I've never seen one. Lots of squirrels here.
Great find! And very sturdily made - "safe as houses" with those screws :) I'd have bought it in a heartbeat. Terrific little armadillo :)
