"Lindy Bank", a still bank created by Grannis and Tolton, Inc., around 1927, depicts the bust of Charles Lindbergh, a famous American aviator. The bank is cast in bronze and features a realistic likeness of Lindbergh, complete with goggles and a leather helmet. A popular icon of the era, Charles Lindbergh's famous solo transatlantic flight made him a hero in the United States, and this bank is a testament to his celebrity status.
