| Figural bank made to resemble heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis who held the title from 1937 until he retired in 1949, this clear bank with metal lid is in *Near-mint condition. The glass is clear & bright, without damage, showing relief printing under the base: "Design patent no. 112688 1." The lid has some edge wear of the red & cream colored paint, with minor interior rust spots (see photos below). Lots of printing on the lid: "Lucky Joe Bank. Nash’s Prepared Mustard. Nash-Underwood, Inc. Chicago. Coin Slot," plus list of ingredients, etc. Obviously this was originally a mustard container! See photos. For fun, I’ve included a shot of the original drawings I found at the USPO (patent) site which dates origin to 1938. Height with lid is 4 3/8". Buyer to pay for shipping by USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation, 2 lbs. from 06068. #265 |
