HERE’S ANOTHER OLDTIME COIN & CURRENCY BANK I HAD STORED AWAY IN ONE OF MY CLOSETS. TIME TO MOVE THEM OUT TO MAKE ROOM FOR NEW ADDITIONS.THIS AUCTION IS FORANTIQUE”CONSCIENCE FUND”COIN & CURRENCY BANKWITH DATE………………………………………………..DON’T KNOW THE EXACT DATE OF MANUFACTURE OF THIS OLD TIMER BUT IT DOES HAVE A 1920 PATENT DATE ON THE BOTTOM. MANUFACTURED BY SPEER-ROSEFELT CALENDAR BANK CO. of MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN. BANK MEASURES APPROX. 3 1/2″ X 3 1/16″ X 4″. IT HAS A DARK GREEN & BLACK MARBLE FINISH. IT IS TRULY IN NICE CONDITION BUT DOES HAS SOME FINISH RUB ALONG THE EDGES AND THE DIME SLOT. I SEE A LITTLE TRIGGERING DEVICE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE QUARTER, NICKEL, AND DIME SLOT WHICH I ASSUME MADE THE DATE CHANGE. NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT THERE ARE TWO HOLDERS. I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THESE WITH BANK NAME PLATES ON THEM BUT SEE NO EVIDENCE THERE WAS EVER ONE ON THIS PARTICULAR ONE. THE ONLY ITEM THAT APPEARS TO BE MISSING IS THE KEY TO OPEN THE MONEY CHAMBER – SEEMS LOADS OF THESE OLD BANKS DON’T HAVE THE KEYS WITH THEM ANYMORE (MONEY CHAMBER SOUNDS TO BE EMPTY). BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS OF THIS NEAT OLD BANK……………………………..
