Description
This is a ornate elephant piggy bank toy. Know nothing about it except that the trunk pulls down to eject a coin into the body of the elephant by entering the front of the seat. It is also very heavy or solid. I know it must come apart or open but I have no idea how. Any information would be greatly appreciated. It has no markings.

Re: Ornate toy elephant bank
This is a reproduction of a Hubley cast iron elephant bank from the late 1800s/early 1900s. Worth $15-20.
And it opens by unscrewing the screw on the harness strap.
