Own an original piece of American artwork. This is a one of a kind bank.

I remember that he had a variety of ceramic automobiles at his stand, but I have never seen him or his ceramic art work ever again. I vaguely recall that he was from the area of New Brunswick, but am not 100% sure. This was the only Yellow Cab Co. taxi he had at the stand so I am confident that I am correct when I call it unique and rare. It is quite large measuring 14 1/2 inches long bumper to bumper, 6 inches high and 6 inches wide. It weighs almost 2 1/2 pounds. It is glazed shiny yellow with grey windows, shiny chrome bumbpers and highlights, and red taillights. The wheels are a flat grey color. It is obviously hand made and you can see the bumps read more
