Cast Iron Log Cabin Still Bank, c.1910–1930
Evoking the rustic charm of early Americana, this cast iron still bank takes the form of a cozy frontier log cabin—complete with chimney, shingled roof, and even a tiny horseshoe above the front door for good luck. Produced circa 1910–1930 by an American foundry in the tradition of makers such as A.C. Williams or Grey Iron, it captures a moment when coin banks were both a child’s toy and a lesson in thrift.
The cabin opens at the midline to reveal the coin compartment, a simple yet clever design favored in early 20th-century foundries. Its surface retains what appears to be the original painted finish, now mellowed to a rich, time-worn patina that only age can produce. A tactile relic of rural nostalgia, it stands as both folk sculpture and functional savings tool—an irresistible blend of history, craftsmanship, and charm.
Condition:
Good condition overall, with age-appropriate wear and patina. The paint appears original, showing scattered losses and natural oxidation from handling and use. No cracks or structural repairs observed. Solid, authentic surface throughout.
