Tinplate6 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I recently acquired this unique blow mold plastic robot bank from Argentina. There was no other information from the seller, but I thought he had personality. The bank is a respectable 18 inches tall. When it arrived, it needed some major restoration and cleaning. So, after 6 hours of work, this is how it turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golddalek Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Ironically, Argentina went Bankrupt in the late 90's and is now getting there again. Maybe that Robot has their money ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
