Bring a classic piece of historical Americana into your collection layout with this vintage Uncle Sam cast iron mechanical coin bank. Standing approximately 11 inches tall, this heavy-duty, solid foundry iron piggy bank is a beautifully detailed mid-to-late 20th-century reproduction of the iconic 1886 Shepard Hardware design. It operates using a manual lever mechanism: when a coin is placed into Uncle Sam's outstretched hand and the lever on the base platform is pressed, his hand lowers to drop the coin directly into the 'U.S. Treasury' carpet bag at his feet while his mouth realistically hinges shut. Hand-painted with traditional patriotic red, white, and blue detailing alongside a striking gold embossed bald eagle crest across the front pedestal, this functional folk art piece serves as an exceptional conversation starter or rustic shelf display.
