-Tank Bank USA c. 1920s

"Tank Bank USA", a cast iron coin bank produced by the A.C. Williams Company in the 1920s, reflects the popularity of the military during World War I. The bank, shaped like a tank, is detailed with tracks, a turret, and a slot for coins. The words "Tank Bank USA" are inscribed on the side, emphasizing the American pride associated with the military at the time. This piece, now held by the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era and a testament to the creative spirit of the early 20th century.
