Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1918
Folded card with title Piggie bank dime saver put out by the Dorchester Savings Bank, copyright 1954. Inside there are slots to receive dimes with the cumulative total listed for each successive slot. In this case, years have been written under each slot, so it seems that a child was intended to put in a dime each year. The first year is 1935 although the card was copyright 1954, so I am guessing this card belonged to a coin collector.
