📝 Description
A highly collectible early 20th-century cast iron still bank from J. & E. Stevens Company, this “Junior” cash register model features the larger and more desirable 5-inch format. Designed as a miniature cash register, the piece showcases ornate Victorian floral and scrollwork across every surface, with strong sculptural depth and detail.

What sets this example apart is the preservation of its original japanned finish with gold-toned highlighting worn naturally across the raised highpoints. This wear pattern is exactly what collectors look for—authentic handling wear that reveals the high-relief details while leaving darker patina in the recessed areas, creating exceptional contrast and depth.

The front panel features molded number buttons and decorative motifs, while the sides and back continue the intricate design, including a perforated floral “peek-a-boo” back panel. The construction uses interlocking cast panels with no visible modern screws, indicating original assembly and an unopened interior. This is a strong, honest example with excellent visual presence and desirable untouched character.
