Nice display piece, it weighs about 1 pound 9 ounces so could even be used as a paperweight. Originally a bank but as you can see in the pictures the bottom base plate is missing so the coins would be on the surface of what it would be setting on if used for its purpose. One of several items I will be listing for someone who used to have an antique booth and collected for many years. I will be going through one box at a time which includes everything from planters, dinnerware, figurines and so much more. Please check back as I will list pieces as I have time and will always combine shipping on more than one item. Many of the pieces are taken from the box they were stored in and pictured for listings, they could need some cleaning or to be wiped down, if I notice anything else I will be sure to mention it and show pictures. I am by no means educated on vintage and antique items so do my best to show them in the pictures. Feel free to ask any questions and I will do all I can to answer them.
