Antique Ives Wooden Safe Bank OIC (Oh Eye See) Rebus Scarce c 1893

Description

This is a very hard to find Ives all wood bank. The bank is covered in lithographed paper to make it resemble a metal safe. When you open the door of the bank there is a glass panel that prevents the money from being removed.  This bank retains its origina old wavy glass.The interior of the door says "LOOK" Very clever look, but don't touch. The bank sits on wooden bun feet. The bank is in generally good condition with portions of missing paper. The back interior wall has some coins listed in pencil. The work of a previous young owner no doubt. Adds character to the bank in my opinion. The front knob to open the door is a replacement. It is circa the 1890's.  It retains its original brass hinges.Please view all photos. Thanks for looking. Feel free to ask questions. Shipping includes insurance. SHIPPING TO AZ AND THE WEST COAST IS AN ADDITIONAL .00
