How can I tell if a cast iron bank is real or a reproduction?
1 Answer
To tell if a cast iron bank is real or a reproduction, examine the hardware used to hold it together. Original banks usually feature flathead screws, while modern reproductions tend to have Phillips-head hardware. Shop a range of expertly vetted original cast iron banks on 1stDibs.
