The circus comes alive in this replica novelty that engages when you press the elephant's tail, causing the animal to lift its trunk and deposit your coin into the seat of this collectable, mechanical toy bank. Created by the Hubley Company in the 1930s, this Design Toscano hand-painted, heavy cast iron, classic vintage collectors' Circus Elephant Die Cast Iron Mechanical Money Box is cast from an antique bank mould in authentic diecast metal construction. Metal turn stopper allows for coin removal.
