A reminder of a bygone era, one steeped in racial insensitivity, this vintage Greedy “N” Boy mechanical bank serves as testament to the progress of our great society, with items of this hateful nature no longer accepted in any form or fashion. At just over 6” in height and featuring a polychrome surface, a lever on the right reverse lifts the bank’s right arm to insert a coin placed in its hand. The bank’s title, “Greedy Ni**er Boy” appears in raised text over the reverse, along with “H.C.U. Ltd Ch-Ch”. Fully operational with light to moderate wear to the surface throughout, the red colouration over the lips is quite worn, with no obtrusive damage or cracks to the metal visible. A favourite with black Americana collectors, this vintage mechanical bank displays beautifully, and is much harder to locate then the similar red-shirted "Jolly Boy" banks.
