-Lucky Dime Register Bank (registering)- still bank c. mid 20th century

This little "Lucky Dime Register Bank", was probably made anonymously, sometime, somewhere, out of metal. It’s such a simple object but it makes me think about a lot. I wonder who designed it, maybe someone who loved the architectural details of banks. There is the suggestion of columns, arched windows, and sunbursts radiating from the top. It feels hopeful. Saving is about the future, right? Then I think about its purpose. This bank isn't just a container; it's a tool for tracking progress. Every dime you drop in is registered. When it reaches a certain amount, you get a reward. It's like a little game! When I'm painting sometimes, it feels a bit like that - incremental steps towards a goal I can only imagine. This little bank embodies optimism and the idea that small efforts can accumulate into something substantial. It's a humble reminder that with a bit of perseverance, luck is sure to follow.
