Ordinary Toby bank - Germany circa 1930

Ordinary Toby bank produced in Germany circa 1930. The Ordinary Toby is the original toby jug featuring a common man of the time wearing 18th century clothing and a tricorn hat. This Ordinary Toby is seated in a chair holding a full pitcher of ale in his left hand balancing it on his left knee. The bank was created by filling in the top of a toby jug, leaving a slit for coins, and opening up the bottom to provide a way to remove the coins in the bank.
