What on earth is this? 🤔 We don’t have the actual item in our collection—just this mystery photo from the First National Bank in Springdale! Our best guess is a vintage desk stamp (with the rubber part at the bottom), but maybe it’s something else entirely? A coin bank with an attached calendar? A miniature time machine…? ⏳ Have you ever seen or used an item like this? Drop your best guesses in the comments below! (If you share this to your feed or story, please make sure your post is public and tag us so we don't miss your insights!) Have a great weekend, everyone! #PhotoIDFriday #ShilohMuseum #SpringdaleArkansas #ArkansasOzarks
