Wow... What a give away at the Gulf station. A metal Gulf Oil replica blimp bank. The top fin opens to put in the coins in and the bottom gondola opens to get the coins out. It was manufactured by Liberty classic Dyersville Ia (made in china). It a nice small piece for the garage.

Any ideal of age? I love blimpa and gas stuff.
The box is stamped 6287 under manufacture date. I'm assuming this means it was made either Feb. 6th, 1987 or June 2nd, 1987. This is a nice small piece to be displayed in my hot rod garage. We find it fun to show.
wow, it's beautiful.
