MacDaddyRico Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 The eighth museum to have acquired Astro Mfg. and Duro Mold & Mfg mechanical banks chose just two specimen: A Berzac Creation Guided Missile Bank and a Destination Moon Bank. The Guided Missile Bank has a label promoting a bank in Cocoa Beach, Florida, and the Destination Moon Bank had been signed by Mercury Astronaut Scott Carpenter. President John F. Kennedy once owned a Berzac Creation Guided Missile Bank which, through a short time, worked its way from the Oval Office down through his secretary's office to daughter Carolyn's bedroom. It eventually ended up on the auction block of a prestigious Auctioneer and sold for around $1,912. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those fins can bend pretty easily...did the seller offer a Partial Refund for their insufficient packing job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel your pain...happened to me a couple of times... A Commemorative Strato Bank was mint until the seller's shipper dropped it, scratching the chrome finish in two places... I insisted on a significant partial refund (%50) and got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
