Fineas J. Whoopie Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 The base looks familiar but I'm not sure about the globe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboz Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Maybe you're right Don , wonder if it was cobbled ??? This bank seems to use the same style base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fineas J. Whoopie Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I have no reason to believe it's cobbled. The base looks familiar but I can't say I remember seeing the globe. The colors in the base and the globe look like a match The ring around the earth is a little strange. Would be cool to find the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasa Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I believe it to be complete.....A piece that just grows on you.....the blues, yellows, and maroon colors are superb and the rockets seem to magically appear.....its nice to see something no one has seen before....that excites me ....congrats to the winner!Here is a comment I received from the seller when I asked about the history of the toy?Hi Mark. Yes, everything is original. Unfortunately I know very little about it's history. A fellow antiques dealer opened a space at the antique mall I'm in and has been bringing pieces he's been hoarding in storage units for the last 30+ years. My wife bought this from him for me as a gift last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddyRico Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The piece reminds me in a way of Duro Mold & Mfg's Commemorative Strato Bank and their Destination Moon Bank, though they're not tin lithograph... The ring around the Earth on the Duro banks commemorate the Mercury Astronauts, so I wonder if that ties into your bank... I once owned the specimen shown above by Roboz because it's a Japanese version of Duro's Strato Bank...but I've never seen this specimen...very intriguing...
