Prior to the Great Depression, there were hundreds of local Building & Loan Associations across the United States.  This was especially true during the 1920's. Many, if not most, were wiped out by the Stock Market crash of 1929, and either went out of business or merged into banks or other institutions.

Own a piece of history from a bye-gone era with this Antique seal press, featuring the seal of the Financial-Regent Building & Loan Association, Incorporated New Jersey, 1923.
