-Lion on Tub c. 1920s - 1930s

This cast iron "Lion on Tub" piggy bank, produced by the A.C. Williams Company in the 1920s-1930s, is a charming example of American folk art. The stylized lion, with its flowing mane and crouching pose, sits atop a cylindrical base resembling a tub. The golden patina of the cast iron adds to the charm of this small but detailed sculpture. This playful piece would have likely been a popular children’s toy and a reminder of the importance of saving.
