Description :

Vintage Large 10" Cast Spelter Boston Terrier Dog Still Coin Bank – Hubley Style

Likely manufactured 1950s-1970s

Wonderful, substantial vintage cast metal still coin bank featuring an alert Boston Terrier / French Bulldog. This piece is modeled after the iconic 1920s Hubley Manufacturing design but is a highly collectible non-ferrous metal vintage reproduction.

Key Features & Details:

• Material: Cast zinc alloy / spelter (fully tested and confirmed non-magnetic). It features a beautiful, naturally aged dark-gray and golden-brown patina that gives it the look of antique cast iron without any risk of rust.

• Type: Two-piece interlocking still coin bank with a factory-cast slot along the upper back.

• Hardware: Held securely together by its original single, recessed flat-head screw located near the chest/neck area.

• Design: Highly detailed with alert, cropped ears, facial wrinkles, and a classic standing stance with the head turned slightly to the right.

Dimensions:

• Length: Approx. 10 inches

• Height: Approx. 9.75 inches

Condition:

Good vintage condition with a fantastic, untouched aged patina. Shows minor surface wear, scuffs, and character marks consistent with age, giving it an authentic antique aesthetic. The halves align beautifully and the screw is intact. Please review all high-resolution photos for a precise look at the condition and craftsmanship.

This large-scale piece is perfect as a functional coin bank, a heavy doorstop, or a striking statement bookend for any dog lover or vintage advertising collector!
