Bought it cheap just because I really liked it but am curious if someone has seen these before. It is about 18" tall and weighs a ton! The exterior finish looks too slick for a DIY craft but the coin cutout and stopper hole in back are really rough. Inside the the bank's legs are hardened ropes (for stabilization during creation perhaps?)No markings anywhere. Functionality wasn't thought out in the design process as the coins can slide down into the legs and get stuck there. Maybe someone modified a commercially produced piece?
