Crowd scene that encircles the bank shows an animated crowd urging Joe Socko to knock out his opponent. Bank has the following on the front: "Joe Socko" Novelty Bank (Pat. App. For)," and along the side and back "American Made Toys For American Girls and Boys." Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. by Straits Corp. Detroit U.S.A." Mechanical bank from the 1940's comes with extremely rare original box. Bank itself is EX while box is VG-EX.
