📝 Description
This vintage Banthrico coin bank is a detailed 1/25 scale replica of a 1915 Chevrolet Coupe, produced circa 1974 as part of Banthrico’s highly collectible Antique Auto series. These were premium promotional pieces commissioned by financial institutions, in this case Home Savings and Loan Company serving Youngstown, Struthers, and Salem.
Constructed from heavy diecast “white metal” with a bronze-toned finish, this piece has the substantial weight and crisp casting detail collectors expect from Banthrico. The design captures early automotive styling with spoked wheels, raised body lines, and period-correct proportions.
Originally issued as a customer incentive during the mid-century savings boom, these banks have become sought-after collectibles for both automotive and advertising memorabilia collectors.
