I've been lucky to find a couple of these castiron pig banks given away by a local foundry.

Not many survived the WWII scrap metal drives.

A few years ago, I purchased this little wooden advertising bank given out by the Moyers Wagon Works in Syracuse, N.Y.

The paper label says: Save Your Money And Buy A Moyer Wagon, Syracuse N.Y.

This was my mom’s bank when she was little. The coin slot is in the saddle on the elephant’s back

Hand-crafted bank patterned after a local historical landmark.



This is the actual structure - it was just up the street from my old house.

I've been lucky to find three of these little banks over the years.

This souvenir building coin bank was made in the 1930s by A.C. Rehberger and a later replica was produced by Banthrico.

Today the historic building in our city center is home to a Bank of America branch bank and several pricey loft-style apartments.

This was a bank that belonged to my maternal grandfather. He was born in 1904 and passed in 1957. It looks at one time he tried to get his money out of it and chipped the slot. There is a similar one on eBay, different color, and mine doesn't say "Made in Austria".
