Buffalo with Twist Tail Cast Iron Bank
Unknown American Maker. Produced Circa Late 1890's. The method for retrieving one's deposited coins is very ingenious. First, you must twist the tail around and pull the rod partly out. Then twist again, pulling the rod more, until the buffalo's head pops off. Only then can you shake the coins out.
