There are two versions of this bank and they all sell for $125 to $200. People have tried to attribute them to a particular player (usually Cobb) but that is wishful thinking. The rarer of the two is a bit chubbier and shorter and has a square bolt countersunk in his backside with a flat head screw in his abdomen. The more common version is slightly thinner and has a flat head screw in the back.
The glossy example in the post is a repro. You can tell based on how poorly the fronts and backs of the legs match up. The originals fit well and were painted cast metal.
