商業銀行儲蓄罐之大康銀行撲滿
Savings box of the Dah Kong Bank
民國 (Republican period,1912-1949)
這是銀行為開展業務或逢建行紀念日，贈送給客戶的業務宣傳品。不同造型的儲蓄罐可以用來贈送不同層面的客戶。儲蓄業務是銀行重要的業務之一，而儲蓄在中國傳統觀念中等同於「節儉」二字，將儲蓄罐作為銀行禮品既宣傳了銀行業務，又表達了一種傳統美德，是非常具有特色的銀行禮品。
Savings boxes were a common gift item that banks offered customers when they developed a new line of business or on the bank's anniversary. Savings boxes of different styles were given to different customers. As “savings” signifies frugality, a traditional Chinese virtue, the savings boxes achieved goals beyond the simple promotion of business by endorsing a well-respected value in Chinese culture. They are thus attributed immense significance in China's banking history. ■資料：香港歷史博物館
