Large Vintage Cast Iron Piggy Bank With Glass Eyes

Hello everyone!!
A couple of years ago I posted a large cast iron piggy bank with glass eyes. I recently found another and couldn't pass it by. I love the details of these piggy banks, especially the rosy cheeks and the glass eyes. As I mentioned in my post, a couple of years back, I've done a lot of research on this one and I've read many different views on when and where this particular design was made. Some say it was made in France in early 1900's, some say it was made in Germany in the early 1900's and some say it's American and made in the late 1800's. However, I differ their opinions and I believe it's American and probably made sometime during the first half of the 20th century. But, that’s just my opinion. The others may very well be correct.

These big piggies measure 10 1/2" long, 4 1/2" tall and weighs in at 7lbs 5oz. So, given the weight and size of these fellows, they could easily serve two purposes as the form of doorstops.

Thanks very much for stopping in for a look!!
