Old Hubley Painted Cast Iron Boy Scout Buckle & Scarf Standing Still Penny Bank

Description: Old Hubley Painted Cast Iron Boy Scout Standing Still Penny Bank For Your Penny Bank Collection-BoyScoutBank1 Details Description: An antique cast iron bank in the form of a boy scout standing tall and holding to a tall stick next to him. This is the bank known as Boy Scout Buckel and Scarf by Hubley, which was made circa 1912. The bank, which is dark brown shows the boy scout standing and holding too a stick. He is wearing a hat, has a buckle on his belt and is wearing a scarf. He has a rectangular backpack with the coin slot on top. The bank is made of two pieces held together with a screw. We chose not to open the bank, so we do not know what would be on the inside. As we understand it this bank was made by Hubley in 1912 and is considered scarce. The bank is all original except for possibly the screw. The bank shows considerable paint losses throughout especially on the front. The back has less losses of the paint when compared to the front and the face of the scout. It has no breaks or repairs. Please see page 66 in Andy and Susan Moor's Book "The Penny Bank Book: Collecting Still Banks" Published by Schiffer Books in 1984, for a photo of a similar example (bank number 47). Please carefully review the photos presented as they are part and parcel of our description. Date: Ca 1912. Origin: Made in the USA and purchased at an auction in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Size: The bank measures ~5 3/4" high and is ~2 1/8" at its widest. The piece weighs about 10.5 ounces. Maker: Hubley. Marks: We did not open the bank and as such we did not check if there are markings on the inside. Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is a nice penny bank that is scarce and in good condition. It would make a nice addition to your collection. Condition: The bank is in good condition. It has no breaks or repairs. The bank is all original (with the possible exception of the screw holding it together which maybe a replacement) and shows paint losses throughout (estimate about 70% of original paint remaining). We chose not to open the bank and as such we do not know if there are any markings on the inside. A very nice and relatively scarce bank, which would make a nice addition to your collection. Please view photos to appreciate the beauty of the bank and for additional condition information. Our Guarantee Please view our 100% positive feedback and bid with confidence.
