Description
Blue On Blue Inset Tablet. Made by the J. & E. Stevens Company. Cromwell, Connecticut - Late 1880's. This sensitive toy bank teaches the Good Samaritan's lesson of generosity. Giving alms to unfortunate people would have had great appeal in Postbellum America. Soldiers on both sides of the Civil War had lost their sight, and therefore, required charitable donations to help sustain them.
