On a sled
An Ohio woman who recently turned one hundred still has an account that her father opened for her in 1913, when she was less than 2. She still has the original passbook, and the account number has only changed once because of a merger.

OK
Picture looks like it was snapped 2 seconds before the guy in the chair surprised her with cake in the face.

No. What's cool is that the bank is still around.

We have one from 1940s. The customer was born in the 20s and thinks she had one as a child, but it has since been closed.

We were opened in the 1890's, and I've found some very old ledgers from that time...but nothing like this. That's pretty cool!
