RARE Jarmulowsky "Jewish Daily News" Bank. This extremely rare cast iron bank building is in very good, all original condition. All panels are complete with no breaks, cracks or repairs; but trap is missing the original key. 7-3/4" tall, manufactured by C. G. Sheppard & Co., J & E Stevens. The following is an excerpt written by Harold Blau, taken from Bob & Shirley Pierce's "Cast Iron Building Banks" collectors reference book:
"Constructed in 1911 at 175 Broa...dway in New York City, the Jarmulowsky Building is a ten-story building with bas relief statues and busts at the top. The original builder/owners were M. & L. Jarmulowsky and the building retains the name today.
It's most prominent tenant was the Jewish Daily News (later called The Forward) that was founded in 1897. A huge neon sign on the roof flashed the newspaper's name in English toward the Manhattan Bridge and in Yiddish along E. Broadway"
The "Cast Iron Building Banks" book lists this bank as an "F" rating (five or less known to exist), with a value of $4, 000.00 to $6, 000.00 in 2009. Contact me with any questions. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
