IVES BLAKESLEE PAINTED PALACE STILL BANK.

Often thought of by most still bank collectors that a bank like this is either the premier or the pinnacle for those collecting building banks. Normally found in a japanned finish, it is a rarity to find a painted version, especially one in this condition. This particular example is polychromed in an apple green with red roof lines, gold highlighting and a painted grass lawn. All too often, the palace bank is susceptible to steeple damage, railing damage and/or chimney turret damage. The trap with the embossed letters “I.B. & Co.” appears to be either an original trap from a japanned version or a replacement trap that has been painted red to match the rear facade of the bank. Paint overall is very fine plus and perhaps a light polishing would enhance the vibrancy of the paint? SIZE: Approx 8″ w x 5″ d x 7-1/2″ t. PROVENANCE: The Estate of Carol and Jerry Soling. CONDITION: As stated above; bank has no apparent damage to iron castings and is overall in excellent plus condition. 1-14640 (4,500-6,500) – Lot 1003

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll Auction - Fall 2014

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
