A vintage-style Uncle Sam mechanical coin bank constructed from painted cast iron. The figure is depicted in traditional patriotic attire, including a blue top hat with gold-toned stars, a black tailcoat with star-shaped buttons, and red and white striped trousers. The figure stands upon a rectangular base with a blue-painted top and red sides. A red satchel sits beside the figure, which is designed to open during the mechanical process. The base features embossed gold-toned decoration including an eagle and banners with the text UNCLE SAM and BANK. The mechanical action is operated via a lever on the base, which moves the figure’s arm to deposit a coin into the satchel.
