Offered for sale is a beautiful example of a large and very hard to find nickel plated “‘Columbia” cast iron Bank, manufactured by the Kenton Hardware Co. For the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. This bank came in four sizes, and this one is the largest, measuring approximately 9″ high x 7″ wide x 7 deep. As can be seen from the pictures, the piece is in excellent condition: there are no breaks, cracks or other damage. The piece has its original coin trap and combination! Displays wonderfully and is a very fine example of an early architectural bank.
