This whimsical "Roly-Poly Monkey" still bank, created by J. Chein & Company around 1930, embodies the playful spirit of early 20th-century Americana. Crafted from tin, the bank features a charming monkey figure with a red hat, wearing a bright orange jacket adorned with a yellow bow and a striped bottom. This iconic toy, with its cheerful design and playful functionality, would have been a beloved possession for children of the time, encouraging savings and imagination.
