Vintage Cast Metal Rocket Bank Duro MFG. w/ Box *SOLD*

Vintage Retro Space Age Cast Metal Rocket Bank Duro MFG. w/ Box

From about the 1940s to the 1970s, everyone was trying to capitalize on the space craze. Duro Mold & MFG of Detroit literally capitalized on it by creating fun cast metal coin banks for banking institutions.

 

These great little banks were usually used as premiums or incentives for parents to bring in their child to open a savings account.  The top features a spring-loaded mechanism that fires the coins into the back. The underside has its original key lock plug (original key is not included, but can easily be opened with a small flathead screwdriver).

 

This particular banks looks to have been box kept and not played with. The original mat gray paint is 99% intact with some minor scratches from storage. The original box shows some mild edge wear and is missing one end.

 

The original decals remain on the side mostly intact, reading “The Union Savings & Loan Company”.

 

Measures approx. 8” Long
