Description
My grandfather had a collection of toy metal cast banks. Some may be from his childhood, others I suspect he collected later in life. All look "old" and not obviously made in Taiwan etc. I'm trying to determine if they are originals or vintage reproductions. Any help would be wonderful as I'd like to sell them at a fair market value.

Re: Vintage Toy Bank
These appear to be reproductions based on the silvering of the interiors (genuine vintage cast is near black, newer is more silver), roughness of the exteriors and use of colors. Probably worth about $30-50 each.
