Would love to have this for the African American Museum here in my state in the USA. Negro is a very racist here in the USA to a black person, don't know about where you're at. But I understand you're just saying what they called it It looks great and an excellent job restoring it!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Am I the only one who is gasping at the fact that you sand blasted a 100 year old vintage antique??? I understand that it looks great but personally, the old patina looks the best.

That object is somewhat racist. No?
@_sean_2942 жыл бұрын
Yeah, unfortunately. It seems like it was a "Jolly [N-Word]" or Little Black Sambo, or a Golliwog coin bank. It was made with yellow eyes and huge red lips, and its features were based on Minstrel Shows, where white people would paint their skin black with huge cherry-red lips and sing and dance racist songs. Some dates I've seen date it back to roughly 1892.

@@MatthewMoustache respectfully, just because you don’t understand the history or take into consideration how this is offensive to Black people, doesn’t mean people are “attaching the wrong label” to it. It was always a very polarizing depiction of black people. Your restoration doesn’t change history.

Agree. Your intentions probably meant well but this is not an item to go over easy in the states. These were made for Whites in a dehumanizing depiction for humor. J.E stevens originally named "the n***** bank". I work at an antique mall and sadly I see brand new reproductions of this.

The piece had more value with its original finish; a rubbing compound could have restored the original paint.
