Antique 1875 Gran Fabrica De Tabcos Punch Cigar Store Cast Iron Bank By Xonex
One of history’s most famous puppets, Mr. Punch takes center stage standing on a metal box as he sells 5-cent cigars in this collectible toy bank. He’s holding in his fist a hand full of cigars and behind him on the box is a slot for the coins to be dropped in with a metal turn stopper on the bottom that allows for coin removal. On the front of this metal box, in raised letters is “Gran Fabrica De Tabcos, ” below in large letters is the name PUNCH. Each side of the box, in raised letters says Five Cent Cigars. To give this item more appeal to children, they placed tiny wheels on the box and fixed a small link chain to the back of the box. Now children had a pull toy to play with and could pull it from room to room. Picked Punch from Punch and Judy puppets to make this bank. Punch has big ears, a big nose, and a mischievous silly little grin on his face with big happy brown eyes. Easy to see why children would have been attracted to this bank.
