This cast iron "Owl" still bank, created by the National Sewing Machine Company (Vindex Toys) in the 1930s, is a charming example of early 20th-century Americana. Featuring a realistically sculpted owl with large, expressive eyes and detailed feathers, the bank is a testament to the enduring appeal of animal motifs in popular culture. Its size and simple design made it an accessible and cherished toy for children, encouraging them to save their coins. Today, the bank's faded paint and worn surface speak to its history and the hands that have held it.
