This lot is comprised of an original cabinet photo showing a child holding a Security Safe Deposit iron still bank & also a superb all original example of an iron Security Safe Deposit still bank.
The cabinet photo shows a young boy Freddy holding presents. A ribbon runs in front of the child that has the wording "1891 Freddy & His Presents". In one hand is a compo head doll. In the other hand is some sort of fuzzy toy. Next to his shoulder is a Security Safe Deposit iron still bank just like the one we are offering with the photo. There is a candy cane hanging from the front of the chair. The chair has various pieces of clothing draped over it. One one side of the back of the chair there is a hat with all sorts of bells on it. On the other side of the chair there is a doll wearing a fancy hat & striped clothing. The photo is 6 1/2" tall by 4 1/4" wide. The photographer was Schrempel of 319 Birch St., So. Bethlehem, Pa. The photo has a 7/16" tear at three o'clock. There is some wear to the edges of the matt, some minor soiling. There is some slight loss to the surface layer of paper on the matt along the edges.
The bank is all original. There are no chips, no cracks, & no repairs. The bank is in superb condition. There is only one tiny flaw in that it is missing the small straight pin that goes through the front of the bottom hinge on the door. The paint is superb & all original in all respects. There are no touchups to the paint. The bank is 3 7/8" tall by 2 7/16" deep by 2 3/4" across. We found the photo separate from the bank & decided that they would make good company together.
