-Skyscraper- still bank (large) c. 1901 - 1906

This cast iron "Skyscraper" still bank, made by the A.C. Williams Company around 1901, is a charming example of early 20th-century Americana. The bank is intricately detailed, featuring a multi-story building with ornate windows and a rooftop. The bank's design reflects the rapid growth of cities and the rise of skyscrapers during this period. This piece, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, serves as a reminder of the era’s fascination with technological advancement and industrial progress.
