-Bank- still bank c. 1895

This cast iron mechanical bank, "Bank", was created by the H. L. Judd Manufacturing Company around 1895. The bank features a detailed, miniature rendition of a brick bank building, complete with a decorative roof, a door, windows and even a "1 Cent" inscription above the entrance. It was likely marketed to children as a fun and educational way to save money, promoting financial literacy and responsibility. The bank's intricate design and realistic depiction of a bank building make it a charming and evocative example of American folk art.
