For sale is a promotional, advertising replica ofBangor
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').
