Large Oregon Gunboat Iron Bank
Attributed to Kenton Hardware. Kenton, Ohio - Circa Late 1890's. At an impressive eleven inches, this battleship toy bank is one of the longest still banks ever made. The USS Oregon was the third and final "Indiana Class" battleship built for the United States Navy in the 1890's. This naval trio was characterized by their low freeboard and two revolving turrets each outfitted with a pair of 13-inch guns. This is a very fine example of the bank and includes the original masts.
