That is a great collection of tins -- what is the Dodge Barrel all about?
Thanks for you interest. The Dodge barrel was promotional item. A bank to accumulate your savings when you buy a Dodge. It say: "Save six baarels of gay a year with Dodge". I will post a close up photo of it. Thanks again Trunkman.
The Dodge barrel is a vintage promotional bank sitting next to an Ertl 1936 Dodge humpback commercial delivery.

Nice !!
