ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 01/17/2018 2:32 pm Hi Guys, I have been trying to find some info on this coin bank I purchased a few months ago. I am not sure if this is the right section, but I could not find anywhere else that would fit. do any of you have any idea if this was a mass produced item, when it might have been made? where it was sold or given away? I have heard of Banks giving away banks to children to help them save this maybe where this was given away? any help would be appreciated. Cheers Report this Post to the Staff

And it's pretty hard to find info about 100 year old companies unless you can find a copyright number. Report this Post to the Staff
