This cast iron still bank, made in the 1970s, depicts a young girl in a yellow dress and a large sunbonnet.

The intricate details, including the floral pattern on her dress and the delicate features of her face, highlight the craftsmanship of this anonymous artist. The bank would have been a popular collectible in its time and continues to hold appeal for those who appreciate vintage toys and Americana.
