Cast iron mechanical piggy bank dating to around 1882 in vintage style, 20.3 cm high, 18.4 cm wide, 8.9 cm deep, about 1.1 kg, with a working mechanism that shoots a coin into its mouth when the pig’s nose is touched after moving its leg and pressing the button, revealing a tongue-out action.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Cast-iron mechanical money box “Paddy and the Pig” from around 1882 in very good condition; the mechanism still works very well. If you move the pig’s leg downward and place a coin on its nose, the coin shoots into its mouth and it sticks out its tongue when you press the button.
