-Flatiron Building Bank c. 1912 - 1936

This cast iron "Flatiron Building Bank" was made by the Kenton Hardware Manufacturing Co. sometime between 1912 and 1936. The miniature bank, which is 3 5/16 x 2 3/8 x 2 in. (8.41 x 6.03 x 5.08 cm) in size, is a simplified but recognizable representation of the Flatiron Building, a renowned landmark in New York City. The building's distinctive triangular shape is faithfully captured in the small scale, and the intricate details of the windows and facade are visible despite the object's miniature size. This cast iron bank is a testament to the popularity of the Flatiron Building and its iconic status in American architecture during the early 20th century.
