    Metal piggy banks. This is a small group of metal banks that I've owned for a long time.

    The cast iron bank is super heavy and is about 10 inches wide overall.

    The brass banks even though I bought them as a pair and always displayed them as a pair they are not a pair. both are made of very heavy brass not like not like the newer reproductions.

    The larger one is about 5 inches wide and the smaller one is about 3 inches wide. the bigger one has a sticker saying Made in India. it has a plastic access plug.

    The smaller one, as you can see has different eyes with more detail. It also has a metal access plug which is interesting. No marks that I saw.

      I'll work on digging out some other rare banks for pictures soon.

      I love these banks! I have one just like your large cast iron bank, but mine's not in as good of condition as yours is. If I can find it in my storage, I'll post it.

      Thanks Scott. Would love to see your bank. Interestingly I also have the wicker and metal and leather bank, but still no ceramic. Haven't found the right one for the collection.

      I almost bought a cast iron bank similar to yours, wasn't too bad of a price either but I didn't and now kinda regret it. I have a pretty extensive collection of all types of piggy/coin banks, may post them sometime.

      I saw that post and had commented on it. Haven't seen much from Scott recently...was thinking about that the other day. Anyone heard from him?
