-Artillery Bank c. 1892

"Artillery Bank" is a cast iron mechanical bank made by the J. & E. Stevens company in the late 19th century. The bank features a soldier standing next to a cannon. When a coin is dropped into the slot on the bank, the soldier fires the cannon, sending the coin into the bank's interior. This type of bank was a popular toy for children in the 19th century. The bank is currently in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
