Beautifully lithographed, this Snow White dime register bank is made of tin and measures approximately 2.5" square and .75" tall. Copyright markings read "©1938 Walt Disney Enterprises." Dwarfs graphics appear on all four sides with bank instructions on bottom.
Once the first dime is inserted into the bank, the back slide-open door locks. When the bank has registered the insertion of $5.00 worth of dimes, the door unlocks and allows access to the coins.

There is also a Dopey dime register bank. It has identical measurements and functions the same as the Snow White bank. Copyright markings are slightly different, "©1939 Walt Disney Productions."
