Reproduction Cast iron coin bank in the form of a winged donkey, a whimsical figural design rooted in early novelty bank themes. Animal-form banks were widely produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often incorporating humor, folklore, or imaginative elements to make saving coins more engaging.
The flying donkey motif reflects the kind of playful and unusual subjects commonly found in antique-style banks, where exaggerated or impossible animals were used as conversation pieces. Pieces like this were typically placed on desks, shelves, or mantels as both decorative objects and savings banks.
Solid cast iron construction with textured surface and coin slot incorporated into the form.
