DETAILS
An antique mechanical coin bank modelled as a political figure representing the leader or Boss of Tammany Hall. The bank figure sits on a chair and his arm drops the coin into his pocket and the bobble head nods in appreciation of the contribution. Tammany Hall (Society of St. Tammany), was an American political organization founded in 1789. The members at the time were regarded as a political gang, illegally profiting from their positions through a system of patronage and corruption.
