    Default A new bank to save for a stash with!
    I went to an auction today, with an eye on a Featherweight. It promptly went for $300, fairly far over my budget. But the day wasn't a total loss. I bought a quilt (pictures as soon as I find somewhere to spread it out) and a Singer book bank. It's got money in it (!!), but alas, no key. I've already mangled a couple of paper clips trying to open it, so I think I'll take it to our local jeweler on Tuesday and see if he can do it. I remember him telling me one time that opening jewelry boxes was a fairly common request, so I have hopes, since this is probably a similar sort of lock. Mostly I just want to see what's in there (that I can hear rattling) and see if I can get an idea on dates based on the coin dates.

    Think this will be big enough for a nice stash?

    That's really neat, and the quilt looks like it might be quiet old. Let us know how the bank and contents turn out.
