Detailed Old Time Favorite Cast Iron Mechanical Bank It features a rather mean looking Bulldog ,smoking a Cigar. The way is works is: You push down on his tail, He opens his mouth and moves his head back, as if he's getting ready to Bite. Then you place a coin inside his mouth, release his tail, and he swallows the coin. The coin falls into the Bank below. Coins can be retrieved by removing the Cast Iron coin plug , located on the bottom of the Bank.(see pictures). Stamped on the side of the Bank is the words "CIGAR 5cent Nickels". Stamped on the Front are the words. " OLE PUFFER".
