Antique Gold Colored Cast Iron Still Penny Bank AC Williams Seated Pig or Hog

Description: Antique Figural Cast Iron Golden Still Penny Bank Pig or Hog Sitting on Hind Legs For Your Penny Bank Collection Details Description: A beautiful antique figural cast iron still penny bank. It is cast in the form of a large pig or hog sitting on its hind legs with its front legs fully stretched. The bank is painted in gold with red highlight for the pig's mouth. The bank is made of two halves which fit together nicely and are held together with a screw. We believe the screw is original to the bank and fits well within the pig's belly. The bank has the coin slot on the back of the pig's head between its ears. The casting of the bank is very well done and shows great details of the pig's body, eyes, mouths, and ears. We have opened the bank and could not find any markings. We show the open bank and the way it looks inside. For the same bank, see bank number 582 "Seated Pig by A.C.
