Re: Uncle Sam
The uncle Sam bank is one of the most reproduced of all the iron banks. Wholesalers sell cases of them for about $85.00, and they sell on ebay for under $20.00.
Re: Uncle Sam
The bank should have some information on the bottom of it. What does the bank say on the bottom of it?

I would estimate the value at the $10.00 to $20.00.
But be careful with the sweeping statements.. I have this model
