This is a small lock box for money or valuables, disguised as a book. It is leather, and, apparently brass, with a lock. The item is locked and we do not have the key. The cover shows a circular emblem stating āBank of Americaā and in the center an image of a ship with three sails. The binding, cover, and back is printed: "The Way to Save, Vol. 1" "National Trust Association, 1st Edition" "Bankers' Utilities Co. San Francisco, Patented July 3rd, 1926, made in the USA"
