About the Item

Shaped like a pyramid this cast iron penny bank was made to commemorate the 200 year anniversary of America; thus inscribed at the top (see image) 1776-1976. It is painted in white (all original) and in excellent condition, with the four original, specially selected, metal flags applied and a description of each below in a recessed applied enamel "tag". The descriptions are very legible and readable (see images) for historic reference. Underneath and on the base plate, is embossed "Still Bank Collectors Club of America and "Limited Edition of 200"; so this bank is quite rare and sought after by both bank collectors and historical memorabilia aficionados. A few scuffs here and there but by and large, it is an authentic, example in excellent all original condition. and one of the 200 originals that were manufactured in 1976. Dimensions: 6" x 6" (Base plate) x 3 1/2" high. See my other listings of over 100+ vintage toys and antique children's toy savings banks from which to chose.

Vintage Children's Toy Savings Bank "U.S. Mail". American, Circa 1920
By A.C. Williams Company
Located in Incline Village, NV
Children's Savings Coin Bank "U.S. Mail" bank , also known as a "still bank"; was American made, circa 1920. This is well made, sturdy, and all original. It is made of cast iron and hand painted in original green paint with gold highlighting. There is no repaint and no restoration. The coins were deposited through the "letter depository"; lift the lever and drop in a coin (see image). When the bank is full, coins are removed by undoing the original square nut in back and the screw in front. Cast into two parts and now separated, the coins are easily collected. Put back together again to insure parts don't go missing (which happened often) and original screw and nut are maintained. This bank was manufactured circa 1920 by the A.C. Williams Company, Chagrin Falls, Ohio. They made many cast iron toys, banks and other products during their time of operation until World War II. The "U.S. Mail" bank is referenced on page 102 #853 in "The Penny Bank Book" by Andy and Susan Moore...
