- Kicking Cow Bank, 1950-1965 - Saving money can be fun. Beginning in the late 1800s, families could purchase mechanical banks. These banks used ingenious mechanisms to deposit money. This mid-twentieth-century reproduction depicts a man milking a cow. When the saver deposits a coin, the cow kicks -- a real hazard if the animal was treated roughly -- and the man tumbles backwards.

- Trocar and Cannula, circa 1915 - Bloat is a condition usually caused by improper feed for cattle, sheep, or horses. The stomach swells with gas, and the pressure must be relieved. A trocar is a tool that allows a veterinarian to puncture the animal's stomach and let the gas escape through a tube--a cannula. This sounds desperate, but it is better than the alternative of letting the animal die.

- Open Molar Extractor, 1901-1925 - Veterinarians remove loose or damaged teeth from animals before they become too painful or infected. They use dental forceps or extractors to grip the tooth below the gum and rock it back and forth to loosen and remove it. This procedure requires patience because pulling the tooth before it is fully loose could harm the animal.
