This cast iron still bank, created by Chamberlain & Hill around 1908, depicts the iconic Blackpool Tower. The detailed sculpture, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, features the tower's intricate latticework and surrounding structures, offering a miniature representation of this famous British landmark. Popular in the early 20th century, these cast iron banks were both functional and decorative, reflecting the growing interest in souvenirs and mementos of popular attractions.
