Calamity Football Bank

[Jim F]

Hi guys.
I have a chance to buy what could be a calamity football bank this morning . The pics are not loading onto the site. Is there anyone here that I can send the photos to get a quick opinion?
I know it's a big ask getting an opinion from photos.
As usual with cast iron banks, some things look good, others don't.
Thanks, jim

Too many old screws that are mismatched. Looks like someone buried it for a year or two to make look old
