Mealheiro mecânico “Uncle Sam” em ferro fundido – reprodução vintage

Impressionante mealheiro mecânico em ferro fundido pintado à mão, representando a emblemática figura do Tio Sam (Uncle Sam), personagem patriótico norte-americano. Esta peça é uma reprodução fiel dos mealheiros originais produzidos nos finais do século XIX e início do século XX, muito populares nos Estados Unidos.
	•	Material: Ferro fundido (iron cast)
	•	Altura aproximada: 26-28 cm
	•	Mecanismo: Operação mecânica – ao colocar a moeda na mão e acionar o botão/pega, o braço move-se e a moeda é depositada na boca da figura, caindo para o interior do mealheiro
	•	Pintura: Original de época ou repintura antiga, em tons patrióticos (azul, branco e vermelho) com pormenores dourados
	•	Base com inscrições: “BANK” em ambos os lados e “UNCLE SAM” com águia americana em relevo na frente
	•	Estado de conservação: Peça com sinais evidentes de idade e uso, incluindo oxidação, desgaste na pintura e vestígios de ferrugem. Mecanismo aparentemente funcional, mas não testado em detalhe
	•	Estilo: Americana Folk Art / Patriotic Memorabilia
	•	Período: Provavelmente segunda metade do século XX (reprodução de modelos originais do final do século XIX)
