We're counting-down the days to LEO—and sharing some of our leonine favorites along the way. Shown above, a Turn-of-the-Century cast iron bank, in the form of a proud King-of-the-Jungle. There's a coin slot along his back and a screw holds the two halves together (however, after 100+ years, removing the screw is not advisable). Imagine this solid and heavy creature standing-guard upon the desk of a young child, circa 1900—with coins being collected for some future splurge. Click on the photo above to learn more about it.
More handsome LEOs tomorrow and in the days to come.
