Though no documentation exists that the figural piece depicted in this cast iron bank is actually supposed to be Ty Cobb the resemblance is clear from the facial features to the split-handed grip. Of course the figure itself appears a little pudgy to be Cobb but what good is a skinny bank? The piece measures just under 6" high with a hand-painted cap. The reverse contains a coin slot as well as a screw that takes the bank apart enabling the owner to remove the bounty. The figure does exhibit some wear but displays well.
