trying to identify a coin bank



Sorry for the cross post but collecting isn't my "thing" & my wife isn't
Usenet literate.

Anyway, I am trying to identify a coin bank. It is about 8" tall. It is a
figure of an older man, w/ white mustache and hair, walking cane, pipe
(which he is holding), red double-breasted coat with golden buttons & black
collar and cuffs, black pants (w/ a red stripe) & shoes, and a black cap
with a button on top. He has the over all look of a train conductor.  His
hat has the initials "RH" (rail head?). On the bottom is a small gold-foil
sticker that says "collegiate" in script & "painted by hand" and "Japan" in
block letters.

If anyone can identify this item, or can point me to a text or website where
I can look, I would really appreciate it.  I will check this thread or
please email me (remove the EXTRA from my email address.)

Thanks!

Bill in AZ
