Lot Essay

Place the coin on the nose of the pig. Press the lever, and the pig will strike the coin with its foot, when the man will open his mouth, catch it on his tongue, and swallow it; at the same time the roll, giving the face a pleased expression.

The paint finish on this bank has very obvious paint strokes.
It has been in the possession of one family since the turn of the century.
