"The Globe" Coin Bank c. 1938

This detailed illustration by William O. Fletcher depicts a "The Globe" coin bank designed around 1938. The bank is shaped like a sphere with a combination lock and a slot for coins. The globe is supported by a three-legged base, possibly inspired by animal feet. The illustration shows two views, one with the lock visible and one without, offering a clear view of the design. This piece is a classic example of early 20th century American design, highlighting the use of functional and decorative elements in everyday objects. The bank’s intricate detail and unique design suggest a potential appeal for collectors and those interested in vintage Americana.
