    Cords were cool cars. Ahead of their time and very fast for the 1930s. I saw one being restored in a shop a few years ago. Movie cowboy Tom Mix died when he lost control and crashed his Cord in 1940. :(:banghead:

    This little 4" x 3" plastic coin saving bank is from the Cleveland Trust Company of Cleveland, Ohio.

    A friend showed it to me. It was full of old silver coins and she wanted me to open it and get the coins out. I did.

    Cleveland Trust Company coin bank

    The front reads:
    A Great City ... A Great Bank!
    The Cleveland Trust Company
    63 Convenient Offices ... Banking Services
    The Bank For All the People
    (Drawing) Gen Moses Cleaveland

    Under the bottom reads:
    Tom Thrift Enterprises
    New Canaan, Conn
    Patents Applied For

    The Tom Thrift company made these coin banks in the 1950's to encourage people to save money.

    The coin bank has seven tubes for circulating coins of 1, 5 (two), 10 (two), 25, and 50 cents.

    The sponsoring bank would hand the coin banks out to customers to fill with coins. The customer would bring the coin bank to the office where a teller would use a special key to unlock it and deposit the coins to an account

    :)

    My family lived just down the street from that branch and did business there, but all ever got was a toaster. Try putting coins in that and plugging it in. LOL

    Speaking of which, ever put an old school music CD in a microwave oven.

    Good stuff for those who have never done this. The light show rivals the northern lights . . . . . . .

    I was gonna say -- do it in someone else's microwave. Someone you don't plan to visit again. It might not ruin the microwave, but it'll certainly stink it up. Burning plastic.

    How do you get the coins in so they stack in the correct tubes?
