-Cow- still bank c. 1910 - 1920

This cast iron "Cow" still bank, created by the Arcade Manufacturing Company circa 1910-1920, is a charming example of early 20th-century American folk art. The detailed sculpture of a standing cow, with its textured surface and realistic form, reflects the company's focus on producing high-quality toys and novelty items. The object's playful design and practical function as a coin bank likely made it a popular choice for children during this period. The piece is currently part of the collection at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, a testament to its enduring appeal and historical significance.
