-Children's Stein- still bank c. 1930

This anonymous "Children's Stein" still bank, created circa 1930, is a charming example of early 20th-century Americana. Made of metal and decorated with a colorful paper label depicting children in a whimsical scene, the bank is shaped like a traditional German stein with a handle and a slot for coins. The small, decorative object showcases the popularity of children's toys during this era, as well as the influence of European design on American art and culture.
