-Acorn Stoves- still bank c. 1880

This small, ceramic still bank, created around 1880 by an anonymous artist, is a unique example of folk art. Shaped like an acorn and glazed in a rich brown hue, it features the inscription "Acorn Stoves" in white lettering, highlighting its function as a promotional piece for the stove company. The bank's simple yet charming design is reminiscent of the craftsmanship of the era, serving as a nostalgic reminder of early American advertising techniques.
