Since it clearly says "reproduced" on the bottom, do you have any idea when it was made?

^^^The bank was reproduced in the 1950's, as this design first appeared in 1882 and was called "The Shamrock Bank"...While this reproduction is more vintage than antique, they are still quite collectible to some...
