For children in the 1960s, the idea of space flight was wondrous. This souvenir bank, of copper-colored plastic in the shape of a space capsule, commemorated the U.S. space flights of astronauts Alan B. Shepard (May 5, 1961) and John H. Glenn (February 20, 1962). For parents, it had the added value of encouraging children to save money. 2013.57.1 |
