    Not marked, but online research indicates it's a McCoy item. It always reminded me of Ronald Reagan.

    AI says: The McCoy "Jolly Sailor" Bank is a highly collectible, vintage ceramic piggy bank produced by the Nelson McCoy Pottery Company as a promotional item for the Seamen's Bank for Savings. Originally distributed in the 1940s and 1950s, these mid-century banks typically sell for between $40 and $115.

    I'm fairly certain that he is McCoy. There are several post in the FB McCoy Pottery group stating that he is.
