-Clock Bank- still bank c. 1910

"Clock Bank" is a cast iron still bank in the shape of a clock, produced by the Arcade Manufacturing Company around 1910. The bank is designed to look like a traditional clock face, with Roman numeral hour markers and gold-painted hands. It is a small-scale object, measuring only 3 3/4 x 2 7/8 x 1 13/16 inches, and features the inscription "A Money Saver" on the face. This whimsical design encourages children to save money by associating it with the passage of time. The bank, now located in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a fascinating example of early 20th-century American folk art.
