George P. Ide & Co of Troy New York Brass Store Display Rack Topper.  Manufactured somewhere around the turn of the century.  Manufactured by Barlow MFG. Company "Store and Window Display Fixtures", Holyoke Mass.  Measurements are in the photos.

Someone at sometime took a grinder to the back of it to see what it was made of (?).  I would have used a magnet!  But it does not affect the front "Money" side of it! 

Here's a history of the Ide family associated with the company:

(VIII) George Peck Ide, son of William and Sally (Carpenter) Ide, was born at Corinth, Saratoga county. New York, February 28, 1836, died at Troy, New York, March 3, 1907. After receiving a practical education he engaged in agricultural pursuits on his father's farm. He remained a farmer until reaching legal age, when he quickly absorbed the details of collar manufacture, and in 1865, at the age of twenty-nine years, began business for himself with a partner, S. V. R. Ford. Samuel N. Ide was admitted in 1867, and in 1878 the original firm dissolved to be reorganized by George P. Ide, James N. Ide, F. B. Twining, and Charles E. Bruce, as George P. Ide, Bruce & Company, a firm which in 1884 became George P. Ide & Company, under which name it became known to a world-wide patronage. In 1920 the firm was incorporated under the same name.

For twenty-five years George P. Ide was president of the Manufacturers' Bank of Troy, was vice-president of the Security Trust Company, and director of the Security Safe Deposit Company of Troy, and of the Adirondack Trust Company of Saratoga, New York. He was president of the Troy Telephone & Telegraph Company, the American District Telegraph Company, and of the Magnetic Ore Separator Company. He was a director of the United Traction Company, Hudson River Telephone Company, Troy Gas Company, Troy and West Troy Bridge Company, was a trustee of Samaritan Hospital, and closely identified with Troy's progress in other lines. He was one of the founders of the Park Club, owned many trotting horses and was very fond of driving them. In politics he was a Republican, but never accepted an office.

George Peck Ide married (first), in 1863, Sarah R. Marshall, daughter of Alba Marshall, who died leaving an only son, Alba Marshall, of further mention. He married (second) Mary Ella Savage, and to this marriage the following children were born: Herbert Savage, of further mention; A. Harris; George P., Jr.; Caroline, married Albert E. Cluett, of Troy, New York; and Edith G., married Joseph O. Eaton, of Cleveland, Ohio.

(IX) Alba Marshall Ide, son of George P. and Sarah R. (Marshall) Ide, was born in Troy, New York, October 2, 1866. He received his early education in the public schools of Troy and then completed his preparations for an active career by taking courses in Troy Academy and in Mount Anthony Seminary, at Bennington, Vermont. When his academic training was completed, he at once became associated with the George P. Ide & Company manufacturing concern, and on December 1, 1889, when he was twenty-three years of age, he became a partner in that large and well-known enterprise. Since that date he has been continuously connected with this great Troy firm, and on February 1, 1920, when the business was incorporated, he was elected vice-president. He is known as a man of large business ability and in addition to his responsibilities in connection with the George P. Ide & Company concern, he is also vice-president and a member of the board of directors of the Manufacturers' National Bank, of Troy, a director of the Security Trust Company, a member of the board of trustees of the Troy Gas Company, a member of the board of directors of the Boston & Maine railroad, and he is also an active member of the official boards of several of the benevolent and educational institutions of the city of Troy. Politically Mr. Ide gives his support to the principles and the candidates of the Republican party, in the affairs of which he takes an active part. He is president of the Rensselaer County Republican Club, has been delegate or alternate to the last five national Republican conventions, and is one of the leaders of the party in his county. In 1909 he was elected presidential elector for the Twenty-second Congressional District, and served as secretary of the Electoral College. He is widely known and highly esteemed both as a business man of exceptional ability and as a publicspirited citizen, who is always ready to contribute generously of his time and means for the public good. He is a member of the Troy Club and of the Mount Anthony Country Club, and is an attendant of St. John's Protestant Episcopal Church.
