-Rival Bank- safe still bank c. 1904

"Rival Bank" is a cast iron coin bank made by the Kenton Hardware Manufacturing Co. around 1904. The bank, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a miniature replica of a real bank vault, featuring a hinged door, keyhole, and the words "Rival Bank" inscribed above a star. Its ornate details and small size make it a charming example of early 20th-century Americana.
