The first Uncle Sam registering banks appeared on shelves in 1907, a product of the Durable Toy & Novelty Company, which had offices in Cleveland, Ohio and Hackensack, New Jersey. True to the company’s name, the banks were made of heavy gauge steel with enamel paint, making them quite rugged and kid-proof.
Durable’s initial registering bank models were single-coin only. For example, the Penny Register Bank opened after a $1 worth of pennies was deposited, while the Dime Register Bank opened after $10 worth of dimes was saved. In 1923, Durable introduced the three-coin model – first in black and then in four other colors.denominator.
