A boater (also straw boater, basher, skimmer, cady, katie, canotier, somer, sennit hat, or in Japan, can-can hat) is a kind of summer hat worn by men, regarded as somewhat formal, and particularly popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century.
In the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa the boater is still a common part of the school uniform in many boys' schools
NO missing parts or any missing screws/bolts
This GENUINE ANTIQUE bank is complete
He is in PERFECT WORKING ORDER
His paintwork looks to be 100% original with no retouching and showing a genuine much-distressed age patina
This bank would make a SUPERB addition to any Negrobilia or Mechanical Bank collection
GENUINE Black Man BANKS WEARING HATS are very much SCARCER than those made without headgear
BEWARE the plethora of Indian FAKES marked "Little Joe" with entirely bogus "boater" hat, being sold out of E-bay Australia presently
This has a VERY LOW reserve but you are welcome to use the "Buy It NOW" option, if you do find the bidding process overly tedious ?
GUARANTEED 100% GENUINE "FOR LIFE" (Meaning you cannot ask for a refund after you have died)
My authenticity guarantee covers full refund of purchase price paid AND cost of postage BOTH WAYS
(Not that I have ever had to accept the return of any bank that I have sold, as I do NOT SELL REPRODUCTIONS....there is just too much competition ! :-)
So do please BID WITH CONFIDENCE
ONLY the ONE (1) bank for sale here
The others shown for comparison are all separately listed on TM or will be SOON :-)
