Boy Robbing Bird's Nest Iron Bank
J. & E. Stevens Company. Cromwell, CT - 1890's. Frank Kidd Collection. An inquisitive boy has spotted a nest in a low lying branch of a tree. Eager to take a peek in the nest, he shimmies up the vines and begins to edge his way onto the tree limb. When suddenly, the branch snaps, toppling both him and the nest to the ground. The Boy Robbing Bird's Nest was to become one of Steven's all time best sellers. It has a production run that last more than ten years. This is an extremely bright example with great highlighted accents.
