Catalog: Banks

Very nice sailor bank made by McCoy for Seaman’s Savings Bank! It is in super condition – the original metal stopper is missing and there is a teeny production pin-pop under his nose (it is production and is not detracting). Great addition to a collection!

We purchased this Shawnee combination cookie jar/bank at an Indiana estate sale and it is truly a treasure to add to a collection! Bottom is marked: Patented, Winnie, Shawnee, USA, 61. She is in excellent condition – unbelievable – no nibbles at the coin slot (I don’t believe the bank portion was ever used). There is some tape/blue residue on the underneath part of the lid that I would surmise was taped to cover the 3 production holes (so cookies would stay fresh)...

Excellent condition McCoy bank produced for Bowery Savings Bank! Shaped like a money chest, the bank is a replica of the first money chest of 1834 and is so noted on bottom of bank. Measures 6 1/8” long, 3 ¾” wide, and 3” tall. It is in wonderful condition – even has the original metal “stopper”. Super item that is becoming more and more difficult to find!

This is a cute Frankoma item – it’s a piggy bank! Piggy has a basket on his back and he’s either lazy or the basket is “heavy” because he’s sitting on his hiney. Measures 4 ¼” tall (at tallest), 6” long (at longest), 3 ¼” wide (at widest) and is a pretty yellow color with shiny glaze. Has the original rubber stopper and is in mint condition!

These are neat banks and would be excellent gifts for baby! There is a pink bank and a blue bank – your choice. Banks measure 7” tall (at tallest) and are marked 643 on bottoms. Excellent condition! ***The pink bear bank has been sold.***

This is a super bank and a great collectible! It’s a Kreiss look-alike bank and it really is – the color and color shadings are excellent! This is the “Put Your Money Where My Mouth Is” bank, he’s blue with black “hair” and is in excellent condition. Has a small “souvenir of Florida” sticker on front. Even though this is a Kreiss look-alike, it’s very collectible in its’ own right and is listed in the 1999 Kreiss reference book with a value of $80! Neat item.

This listing has an unmarked McCoy sailor bank that was produced as a premium give-away for Seaman’s Bank! It has excellent color and mold detail but it has “use” evidence. The hat brim has a tiny glaze ding, there is another at the coin slot, and the base has sustained a ding with resulting ½” hairline and a craze mark. There is some crazing at front bottom base and it is missing the metal stopper...

Made by McCoy for Metz Brewing Company, this is a neat bank! It’s in wonderful condition – has no chips or cracks but has lost approximately 20% of the original cold paint and has lost its stopper. Neat item, difficult to find!

This is an adorable bank! Made by American Bisque, bank is shaped like a snowman’s head and he’s nattily attired with top hat, earmuffs, and a bow tie. Measures 6 7/8” tall (at tallest) and is in wonderful condition – feels like he has had minor color touch-ups on his hat and he doesn’t have a stopper – that’s it! Very nice collectible.

This is a cute, older Santa bank! Measures 5 ¾” tall and has a red with gold “made in Japan’ sticker on bottom. He is papier-mache’ and is in very good condition with some flecks of missing color (could be easily touched up). Nice item!

Isn’t this an ugly cutie! This is the “Money Hungry” bank with “hair” – a Kreiss look-a-like. Measures 5 ½” tall and has no chips or cracks! Per reference book dated 1999, this bank is valued at $70 – we found at a nice price and are happy to share! Neat collectible, not your everyday find.

Very nice unmarked McCoy bank! This is the smiley face bank in the cheerful golden yellow color with black cold painted eyes and smile. Bank is in wonderful condition with no chips, cracks, or crazing! Has lost the stopper and some of the cold paint (could be easily touched up if you choose).
