fantastic vintage clear glass world globe figural coin bank. This classic piece of mid-century Americana features a beautifully rounded, spherical design molded with a textured frosted finish to represent the oceans, raised smooth glass outlining the continental maps, and clear dimensional latitude and longitude grid lines.
This piece is a authentic vintage \"still bank,\" manufactured out of a solid glass mold with a permanent coin slot at the top and no bottom opening or clean-out plug. To retrieve the saved money, owners either had to patiently slide coins back out through the top slot or break the glass entirely—making surviving, unbroken pieces like this highly collectible.
It is a wonderful decorative accent piece for a library shelf, home office, or travel-themed vignette, as well as a great addition to any vintage glass coin bank collection.Specifications• Design: World Globe Map Figural Still Bank
