If you are not on my email list yet, I suggest you get on it, you don't want to miss out!! (Details below) T ARE 14 MORE ITEMS UP FOR SALE IN THIS AUCTION. I have banks ranging in age from 1880's to the 1950's. I generally collect but I have been having fun with these auctions so I'm picking up "extras" when I find them now & offering them to all you collectors out t on Ebay. I hit all the garage & estate sales, flea markets, antique shows & some Ebay treasures!!!! I have banks manufactured by all the major manufacturers. I also have branched out into some of my other cast iron interests, mainly doorstops & paperweights but I have some unexpected surprises as well. Always no reserve and starting at $.99 because I feel the quality the items will speak for themselves and get a fair price. I regularly have auctions, generally twice a month in the winter months. My next auction will start Thursday July 26th and end on Sunday August 5th. If you would like, send me your email & I will add you to the list & notify you when I have an auction. I ONLY us this info to send you info on my Ebay auctions, absolutely nothing else. You are bidding on a cast iron Frowning Face bank. These banks are American made by an unknown manufacturer c1880-1900. This bank is very scarce with an "E" rating meaning "Rare. Few examples are known to exist and they are in collections. A collection must change hands or be broken up for one to become available" In great shape for over 100 years old, Excellent detail in the metal, it has incredible detail in the expression on the face. This bank is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips, breaks, repairs or damage of any kind. The surface finish on the one in Moore 's looks like it's japanned, this is old gold paint. Two strait screws hold on the back, was made to hang on the wall. 5 5/8" long x 5" wide. In Moore 's penny book #12 @ $800 in 2000! I suggest to the winner to print a copy of this auction, it will increase the resale value of your purchase tremendously having this information as a hard copy along with the bank. You are paying for this information, make use of it! Plus it's fun to look back in 20 years and say I only paid $200 for that way back when. Most of the banks today selling for $200-$400 were $15-$50 in the mid 1970's, big money when the reference guides I have were printed. Please ask any and all questions before auction ends.
