Invite a playful and industrial vibe to your playhouse with this Mid-Century cast metal clown bank, featuring a weathered hand-painted red nose and a heavy, weighted silhouette.

A classic example of mid-century "still bank" craftsmanship, this piece captures the whimsical spirit of the traveling circus with a hand-painted red nose providing a grounded, tactile contrast to the aged silver finish.

The detailed molding of the clown’s oversized suit and expressive face gives the piece a substantial, sculptural quality that feels both timeless and reverent. Whether added to a collection of vintage banks in a study or displayed as a standalone focal point, this bank serves as a functional relic of mid-century saving traditions. Its authentic patina and industrial weight make it a quintessential addition to any home seeking a touch of old-world mystery and handcrafted charm.

This item is vintage, approximately 70 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
