-White City Pail- still bank 1893

"White City Pail" still bank, created by Nicol and Co. in 1893, is a charming example of a souvenir from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair. The bank, shaped like a miniature pail with a wire handle, features the inscription "White City Pail - Souvenir - 1893." Made of metal and designed to resemble a wooden bucket, the bank is approximately 2 5/8 inches in diameter and is a reminder of the event's grandeur and the popularity of souvenirs at such exhibitions. The bank, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, embodies the spirit of the event and is a testament to the enduring legacy of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.
