"Globe Glow-Boy" is a miniature cast iron still bank produced by American Art Works, Inc. circa the early 1920s-1930s. The bank is a detailed replica of a wood-burning stove, complete with a door, a firebox, and a decorative top. The bank was likely a popular children's toy and a reminder of the importance of home heating during the era. This example is currently part of the permanent collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
