So, here's a hypothetical situation

you get to go back to 1920 with $100 in cash in that time, and you can buy anything (except stocks) and bring it back.

What do you buy?

Gold was $21/oz in 1920.  It'll return, but probably not enough to be worth it!

Make sure you setup some matter of auto-deposit or some other periodic activity.  Banks are known to close inactive accounts.

90 years really isn't enough to make a lot of money.  Even if you managed a constant 5% APY, you'd be around $8k.

if the effort to travel in time was the same as it was in back to the future were the only effort I had to put fourth is setting the time to for whatever day/month/1920 and time, then find a stretch of road ( or if I don't need road ) to get it up to 88mph, then the return of investment would worth my time on something I could easily turn over on profit

Yes, true...after a few trips, the damn thing would pay for itself 

Of course, you could always do what they propose in Back to the Future, and bring a sporting events results book with you and bet on winners for big money.
