This "Dime Register (registering)- still bank" is a charming example of American toy design from the 20th century. Created by the renowned J. Chein & Company, the bank is crafted from tin and features a bright blue and red color scheme. The bank's design mimics a cash register, complete with a slot for coins and a dial that indicates the total amount saved. This playful and functional piece was likely intended to encourage children to save their money.
