9191 From a PA private collection a 19th century molded earthenware bank in the form of an exaggerated apple. It is painted in shades of mustard yellow with two molded leaves and stem in deep green. This apple is free of cracks, repairs and touchups. The coin slot condition is just as it was when cut originally into the piece. A real handful, think of a slightly tapered grapefruit to capture its size. A stand alone piece in excellent condition or the perfect addition to a collection.
