A cast-metal Abraham Lincoln coin bank by Banthrico bears The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company name. The brass-tone portrait accompanies four composer busts depicting George Frideric Handel, Vincenzo Bellini, Johann Strauss II, and Hector Berlioz, each displayed on a dark rectangular base. A pair of gilded architectural-dome bookends has rounded roofs and decorative bands around the bases. Oversized knight and pawn chess sculptures have dark, antiqued surfaces; the knight measures approximately 4" x 4.75" x 8" tall. An ornamental knife with a decorated handle and matching scabbard, an American flag, and additional small decorations complete the collection. The flag has minor material loss. The knife measures approximately 8" overall with a 4.5" blade.
