The thing probably never held any more than twenty dollars in change at a time! ;P

More than likely...cripes back then the most expensive item had to cost a quarter or something :P

Hahaha, not quite. XD According to my 1900 Sears & Roebuck catalog, you could get 75 doses of Wonder Heart Cure for 75cents; a dozen 2-oz bottles for $2.00; an assortment pocket watches for anywhere between 98 cents and $9.60; a complete Empire State Photographic outlet for $34.65; an upright parlor piano for $98.50; a double barrel shotgun for $17.75; an assortment of men's and women's boots between $1.50 and $3.00; a cheap corset for 50 cents or an expensive one for $1.75; even an obelisk headstone for the "unheard of price of $29.00." Just to name a few. :P But it's looking like the most expensive item (at least in my quick survey) is a Cabriolet with canopy top, full length side and back curtains for $118.00

But if you want an accurate idea of the monetary values, you'll have to multiply those prices by about 20 or so. But even then, those corsets were still damn cheap. A cheap one today is $100. :/

That looks like it would fit in with the Steampunk category. I love that kind of stuff.
