This cast iron still bank, “-Time is Money-” still bank, was made by the A.C. Williams Company sometime between 1909 and 1931. The bank is in the shape of a clock face with Roman numerals and an inscription that reads “Time is Money.” This small but intricate still bank, measuring only 3 13/16 x 3 1/16 x 1 3/4 in (9.68 x 7.78 x 4.45 cm), would have been a popular toy for children in the early 20th century. It's a great example of Americana and a reminder of the value placed on time and money in the early 20th century.
