This is an all original cast iron coin bank of a tall domed building. The coin slot is on top. It is mostly silver in color, with some remnants of a brass color. These coin banks were popular items on offices and houses just after the turn of the XIX century, and were very durable of course. It has the feel we are used to seeing in antique original cast iron objects of any type. It would have been produced in the early part of the 20th century. It is not marked but this style was made by A.C. Williams. The company started metal casting in Ohio in 1844. Some scuff on the metal, one pinnacle is damaged, see photos
