"Horse on Wheels (missing wheels)- still bank" is a cast-iron toy bank in the shape of a horse on wheels, created by the A.C. Williams Company around 1920. This miniature sculpture, crafted in a realistic style, is a reminder of the popularity of cast-iron toys in the early 20th century. The horse's detailed features and the intricate design of the wheels, which are currently missing, contribute to its nostalgic charm. This object, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, serves as a tangible link to the past and speaks to the enduring appeal of simple, playful objects.
