This was a give-a-way item for opening an account with the Commercial & Savings Bank of Stockton.
It is a savings bank, with a slot on top that has a spring across the opening where currency or coins can be inserted. A key is used to open the bank.
The bank, marked on the front:
COMMERCIAL & SAVINGS BANK OF STOCKTON

is the stem at the 6 oclock because they had the tooling for car clocks? why is it so long?
Thanks mikielikesigns2 for the appreciation.
It is made long enough and at the 6:00 position to come out of the bottom of the bank case so it can be wound and set without opening the bank to wind it or set it. I think these were made specifically for these "TIMESAVER" cases. I have seen many of these with different bank names and other businesses on them.
