Hi.
I have a smallish, copper-lined book with a lock on the side and the title "Dresden Bank". These were apparently used as piggy banks which could be unlocked only by checking them into the named bank itself.
See these other postings from a coin-collecting group:
Are there standard key blanks for these, once they have been opened?
Thanks for the help. As for the lock-books mentioned in the two links, one is from England's postal service and the other is from a bank.
I'm not sure what period they are from. Maybe the fifties, as there seems to be some plastic in the "Dresdner Bank" cover.

Well you could always ask them:
