Williams Co. of Ravenna, Ohio, catalogued as bank No. 211 in Andy and Susan Moore's \u003cem\u003eThe Penny Bank Book\u003c\/em\u003e. It was a popular five-and-dime item in its day, distributed through chains like Woolworth's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bank is cast in two pieces joined by a base screw, with no cracks or breaks. Faint traces of gold and red pigment remain in the recesses of the casting — hints of the original hand-painted finish — over a deep, dark patina built up from over a century of handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnmarked, as is typical for genuine examples of this pattern, but a well-known, collectible figure from a major American toy and bank foundry. Stands 6½\" tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Knife Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45880461361186,"sku":"AC-ACWilliams-001","price":120.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0862\/1142\/8386\/files\/DSCF2615.jpg?v=1783041768","url":"https:\/\/vintageknifeshop.com\/products\/clown-coin-bank","provider":"Vintage Knife Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
