Policeman Still Bank - A cast iron still bank in the form of a standing policeman. The figure is depicted in a full-length uniform featuring a buttoned tunic, belt, trousers, and a bowler-style hat with a cockade on the left side. The figure is posed with the right arm holding a baton across the waist and the left hand resting on the hip. The bank is constructed of two cast halves joined by a single central screw at the back. A rectangular coin slot is located on the upper back, and the feet are cast with hollow centers. No maker marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the exterior or underside of the feet (Photo 4). A single rusted flat-head screw is present at the center of the back (Photo 2). Based on the mold, this figure corresponds to designs produced in the early 20th century. 5.5 in high
