This
is a large, vintage cast iron, still, coin / piggy bank by Hubley. It
features a bear holding a honey pot. The bear is finished in a smooth
black paint and the tongue has been painted red and the eyes
white. It appears untouched and the fit between the two pieces is just
about perfect. There is some wear to the base, and I THINK that the
screw may not be original. This piece is in very good condition with no cracks or chips. Please examine photos closely as they are part of the item description.
Circa: 1930s
Size: Approx. 6.5" high x 3.5" wide
Weight: Approx. 2lbs 11oz
