Vintage Snow White Dime Banks

Beautifully lithographed, this Snow White dime register bank is made of tin and measures approximately 2.5" square and is .75" thick. Copyright markings read "©1938 Walt Disney Enterprises."
















Dwarfs graphics appear on all four sides with bank instructions on the bottom.

Once the first dime is inserted into the bank, the back slide-open door locks. When the bank has registered the insertion of $5.00 worth of dimes, the door unlocks and allows access to the coins.

A Dopey dime register bank was produced the following year. It pretty much has identical measurements and functions as the Snow White bank, though the copyright markings differ, "©1939 Walt Disney Productions."
