-Squirrel Bank- still bank c. 1930

"Squirrel Bank" is an oval-shaped tin still bank made in the 1930s by an anonymous artist. The bank depicts a squirrel in a red jacket and yellow pants holding an acorn, an owl with glasses, and a bee with a shovel. The bright colors and playful characters are typical of the style of children's illustrations of the time period. The text on the bank, "Security Storage and Trust for Squirrels and Chipmunks," and "Receiving Teller," contribute to the whimsical nature of the artwork, which was likely intended for children. This "Squirrel Bank" is currently part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
