Antique Banker's Safe "BANQUE" in Cast Iron/Bronze – Still Bank Epoca Prima metà del '900 Rare collectible piggy bank (Still Bank model) dating from the early to mid-20th century. Measurements: 10 x 8 x 13 cm and weight 590 g. It is made of heavy metal (cast iron/bronze) and finely reproduces a monumental banking building in an eclectic architectural style. The front is embellished with the raised inscription "BANQUE", a feature that makes this piece much rarer and more sought-after than the classic models with English wording. French production. Characterized by a dramatic double-curved monumental entrance staircase, decorative columns at the base, and detailed geometric windows on two levels. The roof scalloping (tile effect) is topped by a central upper pinnacle/chimney. Original dark patina from the period. The item presents itself in excellent vintage condition. The structure is perfectly solid and intact: it has no cracks, missing parts, subsequent welds, or signs of rust running through. The through-bolt that holds the parts together is in order and fully functional. A piece of savings history, ideal for collectors of vintage toys, metal antiques, or as a bold industrial/retro-style decorative item. Photos are to be considered an integral part of the description; shipping will be fast and insured for the full value. We do not ship outside Europe.
