This "Conscience Fund" still bank, created by the Speer Calendar Bank Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin around 1920, is a prime example of early 20th-century advertising. Its green speckled metal exterior and small size make it an attractive collectible for those interested in vintage advertising or American design. The bank features slots for various coin denominations (25¢, 5¢, 10¢), a calendar with a flip-over mechanism, and a prominent inscription for the New York Life Insurance Company, demonstrating the popular use of advertising in everyday objects during this period.
