I have 2, but wouldn't consider myself a collector.
Lillian, use a thin, wide knife (like a bread cutting knife). Insert into slot, hold sideways, jiggle-shake, coin lands on knife, slides out...
I bought a chrome pig bank, no key, for $.50 USD, you could hear coins inside...took it home, used screw driver to unscrew bottom plate. 7 Canadian coins totalling $2.10.
Nice collections of banks and now you’re talking my language. I had a “starter collection” till I got my feet wet. I think I know a little more than I did when I started and you described what to look for in an old bank is the way I check them. I’m not a pro, but the smooth casting, the slot, things to look for, thats the ticket, now if they had Made in Canada printed on the hind leg, then I would be interested in buying it. Hard to find, even in Canada .. ..did I say, nice banks.
A bank bank. Love them!
Beautiful detail....Is it brass, or do you know? Have you found the mfg?
