1923 Bankers Utilities Co Metal Coin Bank
1923 Bankers Utilities Co Metal Coin Bank
This century old "Book of Thrift" is actually a vintage, metal coin bank from the 1920s. Most likely a promotional item from banks given out to store money at home.
This one has a gorgeous green color and is in very good condition considering the age. Definitely some scratches, but all adds to the beauty and patina of this piece.
Does not have a key, but more than likely can be picked open. There is no money inside (sorry. we checked!)
Writing on the front reads "Farmers & Merchants Bank. Lodi, California. 'Owned by Home Folks'".
Writing on the side reads "Bankers Utilities Co. San Francisco. Patented July 3, 1923).
A lovely piece that we considered keeping for ourselves before letting it go to our amazing customers.
Sold-as is.
Dimensions: ~ 4.5" x 3.25" x 1"
