This is a plastic and cardboard Morton Salt Coin bank. I did not yield many results in my research indicating the year, but it can't be any earlier than 1968 because of the logo on it was introduced that year. Perhaps 1970's. I've always loved Morton Salt advertising, somewhat because of the frequent evolution of the logo until they settled on this one in 1968. The girl logo started in 1914 and changed in 1921, 1933, 1941, 1956, and then finally in 1968, we saw the Morton Salt girl we still know today. It changed once per decade until they apparently found the perfect girl. Anyone have any more specific info about the year?

If this were an actual Morton Salt container you could date it by the label but on a bank it could be a replicated label design.
