"Santa Save and Smile" is an early 20th-century cast-iron bank in the form of a grinning figure wearing a red cap. It is a charming example of folk art and is part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection. The bank's inscription "Save for a Smile" suggests its intended use and is a reminder of the importance of saving money for future joy. Its whimsical design makes it a delightful piece for collectors of Americana and folk art.
