Item Details

Description

Ives, Blakeslee Company. Bridgeport, Ct. - 1878. The Bulldog Savings Bank is undeniably one of the most hysterically comical toy banks ever created. Give the clockwork mechanism a good winding and place your coin in the tines held in the man's hands. When you press the lever, the ravenous canine jumps forward to eat your coin. As he sits back down, he literally defecates the shiny penny into the bank. Hahahahaha!!!!
