    Description

    For sale is a promotional, advertising replica of
    Bangor
    Savings
    Bank
    [
    Bangor
    , ME].
    Compare #s 1083 and 893 in
    Monumental Miniatures
    for two versions of this
    bank
    : # 1083 was cast by Kronheimer  & Oldenbusch in 1912 and is rated V/5, virtually never coming up for sale.
    The present version was cast by Banthrico in 1992 on the 140th anniversary of the
    bank
    , in a limited edition of 1000. MM rates it III/V and 3/6.
    This one is numbered on the bottom # 367/1000.
    This information is also inscribed on the bottom: 140th Anniversary / 1852  1992. This later casting is an exact replica of that earlier
    bank
    .
    The front & rear read:
    Bangor
    Savings
    Bank
    . The sides: 1851-1912. The hole on the roof: Bills, and in the center of the roof, the K&O logo.
    Again, this is the later Banthrico recast, NOT the original K&O model.
    Still, this is a nice architectural replica of that hard-to-find original measuring 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 3 1/4".
    It is in excellent condition with intact trap. It has a pewter finish.
    Shipping includes insurance and signature tracking (to minimize the
    possibility
    of loss to 'porch pirates').
