Offered on auction is one NEW Old Stock "GOLD" Tone plated metal Rocket Bank made by Vacumet Finishing, Inc. and NOT A REPRODUCTION. This is a rare finish bank, as they call it the gold tone finish. I do not beleive that it is "GOLD" as it was designed to be a child's bank and toy. You will NOT find a better original undisplayed example of this rocket bank. If you've been looking for an NOS bank, you know I'm right! This bank could have been found in a time capsule! Finished in Gold color, New In Box, Never Displayed working mechanical bank that shoots coins. You cock the bank by pulling the launcher back, place coin in slot and press the round release button down. The coin is then launched into the nosecone. To empty the bank you unlock the red rocket nozzles with the included original key allowing the coins to be removed. The decal reads: PEOPLES UNION BANK AND TRUST COMPANY. The first "N" in UNION is somewhat not clear. It is a manufacturing placement issue. Included: Original replacement parts list, copy of the instructions (these are usually missing from other banks offered on eBay), the CORRECT key, four wing pads still attached as manufactured, rubber pointed NOSECONE and the box has very minor shelf wear. A rare one page color brochure is also included showing other banks made. Information on one fin: CAN.PAT, 150-21482, RD.1957 A Berzac Creation. Another fin has: ASTRO MFG INC. U.S.A., DETROIT-U.S.PA-T SN.D 45961. The other two fins have no information. Condition: New in box---NEVER DISPLAYED, ORIGINAL--not a reproduction, factory issued condition with no modifications, rubber parts never installed.
