      Welcome to CW . Your piece appears to a repro to me . Could we see seams better ? Is he missing a arm ?

      I have an original one it does not look like this I believe it is suppose to be a mechanical bank where you put the coin in Sambo`s hand release the lever he shoots the coin in his mouth are the arms broken there were a few bank manufactures can you find a name also the repros are not made very well bad joints rough casting this does appear to be old

      He is Jolly Sonny Boy bank and yes missing arm . He could be a original but a lot depends on seams

      Regardless of real or repro the missing arm cripples the bank and the value.
