An Exceptional Collection of 

Cast Iron Banks

From The RSL Auction

 I "discovered" the wonderful world of American cast iron banks from the 1800's

long after I had started to blog. Up here in Canada, I've never seen one in person, 

but I've seen them on American auctioneers websites, and occasionally on a PBS TV station (An American Public Broadcasting System station on TV, and through American Auctions on the Internet.  These banks were made in the 1800's

and AI'm sure found a place in many houses with children, who would save their pennies in these banks.

I selected this particular bank because it would have bee very enjoyable for children. After winding it up, the horses and their riders would ride around in circles, and I'm sure they were very enthralled to see the horses go "round and round".

This particular cast iron bank was manufactured be the 

J. & E. Stevens Company.Their plant where they manufactured these banks

was located in Cromwell, Connecticut, USA.

This particular model was made in 1872.

There are a lot more banks to see on The RSL Auction Company's

website, as well as on Liveauctioneers.com

Thanks for visiting my blog,
