This anonymous, mid-20th century still bank, playfully mimics a slot machine, a popular form of entertainment during this period. The "Fortune Jackpot Bank" features a whimsical design with three spinning wheels that reveal images of a lemon, fish, and a smiling orange. Below, a playful message promises potential winnings, including a millionaire status, the moon, and a turkey, adding to the bank's lighthearted charm. The small, silver, metal bank with black base is a reminder of a time when both gambling and saving were popular pastimes.
