Offered here is an excellent, all‑original example of the Buster Brown and Tige cast‑iron still bank, manufactured in the early 20th century by the A.C. Williams Company of Ravenna, Ohio—one of America’s most prolific makers of cast‑iron toys and banks. Standing 5 inches tall, this charming penny bank features a bright four‑color original paint scheme, a hallmark of Williams’ early production.

The characters Buster Brown and his loyal dog Tige were created in 1902 by celebrated cartoonist Richard F. Outcault, also known for The Yellow Kid. By 1904, Buster, Tige, and Buster’s sister Mary Jane had become national icons as the official mascots of the Brown Shoe Company, cementing their place in early American popular culture.

This collector‑quality example retains an impressive 85–90% of its original paint, shows no chips, cracks, or repairs, and still has its original screw—a detail often lost or replaced. The colors remain vibrant, and the surface displays the honest patina collectors prize in early A.C. Williams banks.

Scarce in this level of originality and condition, this Buster Brown and Tige still bank is a standout piece for collectors of early comic‑character memorabilia, cast‑iron toys, or antique still banks.
