The Gewgaw, Money Box



My $100,000 Money Box hasn't a dime, secret papers or U.S. Government Bonds, and was originally the property of one Chuck Kabis. It's also missing its handle and the lock. It was made by the Ohio Art Company, also known for the Etch-A-Sketch. Lesser known is the fact that Ohio Art also made a heck of a lot of tin toys like sand buckets and mini world globes that doubled as banks.
