-Bank- still bank c. 1890s

This cast iron mechanical bank, titled "-Bank- still bank", was created by the A.C. Williams Company in the 1890s. The bank is modeled after a small building, and features a door that opens to reveal a slot for coins. This type of cast-iron bank was a popular children's toy in the late 19th century, teaching them about saving money in a playful way. The bank is now part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
