Tammany Little Fat Man Mechanical Cast Iron Bank

The "Little Fat Man" version is scarce. It is deemed the "Little Fat Man" because "Tammany" is not inscribed on the side panels and it uses a round coin trap instead of a piece of cast iron and screw.

On December 23, 1873, John Hall, of Watertown, Massachusetts, was granted Patent number 145,734 for his design and invention of the "Little Fat Man Bank", which he later renamed the "Tammany Bank."
