notes: label: Description
content: The A.C. Rehberger Co. of Chicago, Illinois, manufactured this cast metal still bank model of the Worcester County Institution for Savings during the 1930s. Rehberger was a well-known manufacturer of cast-metal toys and souvenirs, and sold many bank models during the 1930s as banks sought to encourage saving during the economic depression. The model is an accurate scale model of the Worcester County bank, founded in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1828 as the county’s first chartered bank. The still bank can take coins through a slot or bills through its round hole.
