-Red Goose Shoes- still bank c. 1920s

This cast iron still bank, created by the Arcade Manufacturing Company in the 1920s, is a whimsical example of early 20th century advertising. The bright red goose, standing on its yellow feet, is a charming representation of a popular children's shoe brand, “Red Goose Shoes.” The bank, part of a larger collection of "character banks" produced in the early 20th century, would have been a beloved childhood toy as well as a practical way for children to save their money.
