-Top Hat- still bank c. early 20th century

This anonymous "Top Hat" still bank, dating back to the early 20th century, is a charming example of folk art. Made of tin and fashioned after a classic top hat, this functional sculpture would have likely been a popular children's toy. The piece's simple yet expressive design reflects the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its anonymous maker. The bank is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, a testament to its historical and artistic significance.
