This cast iron "Fidelity Trust" bank, made by the Henry C. Hart Manufacturing Co. around 1885, is a miniature replica of a real safe. Its black painted exterior with gold accents and a working combination lock adds to the realistic detail. It features a decorative image of a woman on the side and the inscription “Fidelity Trust” on the front, showcasing a popular design motif of the late 19th century.
