Circa Early 20th Century: Manufactured in Ravenna, Ohio, by still bank giant A.C. Williams, this 5" tall cast iron Buster Brown and Tige penny bank has a bright original four color paint scheme. Richard F. Outcault, author of the famous comic strip The Yellow Kid, created Buster Brown in 1902, and, by 1904, Buster and his trusty sidekick Tige, along with his sister Mary Jane, were chosen as the mascots of the Brown Show Company. This collector quality Buster Brown and Tige still bank is in excellent condition, retaining approximately 85-90 percent of its original paint, has its original screw, and has no chips, cracks, or repairs.
