This is for an antique coin bank box that is made of steel with copper colored streaks running throughout it. This oval shaped bank-issued box has a handle on the top. The bank has a metal tag on the front that reads, "Savings Department Citizens Banking Co. Oil City, PA.". Top of the bank shows the manufacturer name, the C.O. Burns Company out of New York and the number "1972" is imprinted in it as well. It also has the patent number there which dates this to 1904.

The lock is open on the bottom of the bank but we don't have the key to lock it again. The banks used to hold these. Bank is in pretty good condition overall for it's age with some natural wear present. Please see pictures for design and condition detail.
