This "Benjamin Franklin" still bank, created by Kamkap Inc. sometime in the 20th century, is a playful representation of a traditional cash register. It features a decorative, ornate design with a pull-out drawer, a "No Sale" button, and a display window with numbers for "10" and "25." The bank was likely targeted at children, offering a fun and interactive way to learn about saving money. This type of toy, often made of tin, was a popular collectible in the early to mid-20th century and reflects the growing importance of consumerism and financial literacy in American culture.
