This company later became associated with Dent Hardware in nearby Allentown, PA, and later with the Kenton Toy Co. in Kenton, OH. Shimer was an early toy company and their design of toys & banks had intricate detailed castings. This particular bank which is normally found in japanned finish is painted in a yellow with a coffee colored roof and base plate, and highlights are in a mustard color. Bank retains its original twist pin and overall paint finish is good to very good. A really tough still bank to find in painted finish!
