-Uncle Sam's Three-Coin Register Bank (registering)- still bank c. 1930 - 1960

"Uncle Sam's 3-Coin Register Bank" is a toy bank made by the Durable Toy and Novelty Corporation in the 1930s-1960s. The black painted metal bank is shaped like a cash register with a coin slot and a dial that displays the amount deposited in dollars and cents. A small key can be used to open the bank and remove the coins. The bank’s design was likely inspired by the popularity of Uncle Sam as a national symbol in the early 20th century. Today, this toy bank is considered an example of Americana and is part of the collection at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
