I have one, but I can't find anything on how much it's worth. Mine doesn't have a key. Any information on it's possible worth would be welcome.
I need a key for my bank. Where can I find one?
I have one as well, and it also doesn't have a key, and has coins inside. The only difference in the one pictured and the one I have is the front of mine reads
Wells Fargo Bank
and
Union Trust Co. Has a picture of someone riding a horse. Also "Since 1852" at the bottom. Any info on where to get a key and the value of this item is appreciated. thanks Reginald
you need to take the book to the bank. They were the only ones that had the key. Smart way to get people to bring money into the bank in those days....
I currently have one of these I plan on selling just don't know for how much yet. It says "Talman Federal Savings and Loan Association, 2641 W 51st Street Chicago, Illinois" and I do have a key. It seems in good condition. Spot on the back though where there was scotch tape.
8/29/12 I have one. Same on back, front has "The Oldest Bank in Rockford" The Third National Bank founded in 1854, Rockford, Illinois. Do not have a key. Need to know value of it.
I have 7 of these little book banks. Two from one bank and 5 from another bank. All six open with the same key. All are from Bankers Utilities Co. from San Fransisco, Ca. My local locksmith made a key for me!!
Dansbug, is there any chance you could email me a picture of the key? Our locksmith was here and could not open the bank. If I had something to show him that would be great. My bank says New Bedford Five Cents Savings Bank on the book cover.
Pastelptgs - can do but I'm not sure how to find your email?
dansbug, Thanks, my email is dwketch@verizon.net. I appreciate this very much.
