This circa 1923–1926 Arcade Yellow Cab still bank is one of the most iconic creations of the Arcade Manufacturing Company of Freeport, Illinois—widely regarded as the premier American maker of cast‑iron toys. The Yellow Cab is the company’s most famous design, and this 8-inch still bank variant is a highly desirable crossover collectible sought after by both antique toy collectors and cast‑iron bank collectors.
This example remains in exceptional, investment‑grade condition, retaining over 95% of its original paint with no chips, cracks, touch-ups, or repairs. Even the original grill screen and original painted driver—features often replaced or missing—are fully intact. Its crisp surfaces and vivid color make it one of the finest surviving examples of this classic early‑20th‑century cast‑iron bank.
High‑grade Arcade Yellow Cab banks are increasingly difficult to find, especially in such pristine condition. This piece represents a standout opportunity to acquire a top-tier example of one of the most recognizable and historically significant cast‑iron toys ever produced.
