This cast iron "Boston Bull Terrier" still bank, created by the National Sewing Machine Company (Vindex Toys) around 1931, is a charming example of early 20th-century Americana. The detailed sculpture captures the breed's distinctive features, including its short muzzle and erect ears, in a playful and endearing manner. Originally intended as a functional bank for children, it has become a sought-after collectible for its nostalgic appeal. Its charming design and detailed craftsmanship make it a delightful addition to any collection of vintage toys.
