Lot Description

Still bank in the form of a forged iron, "Hard Cider" barrel produced to promote William Henry Harrison's 1840 Presidential campaign. Approx. 7.5 in. long, 5 in. tall. The bank is comprised of four hand wrought, bronze hoops, two of which extend to form the bronze feet. One end of the barrel reads Harrison Cider Extra, and the other end reads, Boston O.K. The lettering is black on a gilt background. The bank includes a removable insert in the bung hole at the top, which has a hand-cut slot, suggesting that this may be a very early example of an iron still bank.

A rare example of Harrison campaign memorabilia.

Condition

Bank shows light age, surface oxidation typical for age, light wear to lettering. Overall very fine condition. Accompanied by letter of authenticity from Walnut's Antiques.
