1940s-1950s Tin Drum Coin Bank Illustrated by Fern Bisel Peat

This is a tin drum-shaped coin bank designed by famous illustrator, Fern Bisel Peat, who is still beloved by both adults and children for the fairy-like quality of her art. The design around the band of the drum shows a boy marching in traditional Mexican garb with a shepherd's crook while festively decorated piggy banks parade in front and back of him with coins spilling willy-nilly.

Circa 1940s-1950s.
