This site has been created to share information, resources for research, and to stimulate interest in collecting cast iron safe banks made between 1865 and 1941.
While Mechanical Banks and some specific areas of Still Banks have been thoroughly researched and documented, the field of cast iron safe banks was wide-open until publication of my SAFE BANK BOOK in 2018. This new book includes information on rarity, value, when they were made, or who made them.
Having collected still banks since 1978, and specializing in safe banks since 1996, I hope to apply my knowledge and experience within the hobby to encourage and educate others who have an interest in toy banks.
This site includes
PHOTOS OF SAFE BANKS

It is my hope and desire that this site will continue to grow and evolve as information is exchanged and content added. Please provide any questions or feedback you may have using the CONTACT ME form, add me to your FAVORITES and come back often!
