Vintage Dr Pepper “Be a Pepper” metal coin bank dating to the late 1970s/early 1980s.
The bank features the classic red Dr Pepper graphics and the memorable “Be a Pepper” slogan. It measures approximately 5 3/4" tall x 3 1/2" in diameter, making it considerably larger than a standard soda can. A current 12 oz. Dr Pepper can is shown in one photo for size comparison only and is not included.
The top has a coin slot, and the bottom retains its original removable plug marked:
J. L. Clark Manufacturing Co.
Rockford, Illinois 61101
Made in U.S.A.
“Pry Plug to Open Bank”
The glossy red finish and graphics remain bright and attractive. There is light age-related wear consistent with vintage use and storage. Please see photos for details.
A great piece of vintage Dr Pepper advertising memorabilia for a soda, advertising, or Americana collection.
