Large 1891 Antique Cast Iron JARVIS Building Traders Bank of Canada, Perfect! I was able to find a few other examples of the very large Cast Iron Bank we are listing tonight, but none of them were in as complete and original condition as this example! Measuring 10 1/4″ long by 5″ deep by 8 1/4 tall this very large Cast Iron Bank was made by Jarvis in 1890. It depicts the main building of the old Traders Bank of Canada at the corner of Colbourne & Yonge Streets in downtown Toronto. After some research online we found that these banks were given away to only the top bank customers and the key to the lock was held by the bank, so when the owner wanted to empty it, they had to go to the bank. I also found that only 1500 of these banks were produced! The gold gilded paint you see is guaranteed to be the first original paint on this rare bank, and when we opened the door we were pleasantly surprised to find that the original divided tin liner is still inside! Most example are missing this liner. Along with the bank comes a small pad-lock, which we still have the keys for. In our photographs you can see that there is some very light surface wear to the original gold paint, but there are no other problems or any restorations to this rare, Traders Bank of Canada, Cast Iron Bank.
