THIS LITTLE PRY BAR IS APPROX 10 INCHES LONG AND WELL MADE. WHAT CAUGHT MY INTEREST IS IT APPARENTLY WAS A PROMOTIONAL GIFT FROM A BANK. MUST OF BEEN AN IMPORTANT CUSTOMER TO GET THIS INSTEAD OF A CALENDAR OR ASH TRAY. TOUGH TO SEE THE LETTERS IN THE PICTURE BUT IT IS LEGIBLE. FROM A BANK IN PARIS ILLINOIS. NO IDEA AS TO MAKER OR AGE JUST FOUND IT INTERESTING AND DIFFERENT. DID A LITTLE CHECKING AND APPARENTLY THIS BANK WAS FOUNDED IN 1902 AND IS STILL IN BUSINESS.
