Gray produced these banks from 1903-1928. The Gray Iron Casting Company began in 1881 in Mount Joy PA and operated until 1925 making dozens of popular banks including the Battleship Maine. The bank is in great shape, with no cracks, chips, breaks of any kind. The original brown lacquer is 85% intact & has a nice patina. The hand painted gold trim work is in decent shape. This bank is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips, breaks, repairs or damage of any kind unless stated. The seams are tight, even, the pieces align well, has the original turn pin. 5 1/4 " high x 3 3/4" wide. In #1124 Moore 's penny book listed @ $375 in 2000. I suggest to the winner to print a copy of this auction, it will increase the resale value of your purchase tremendously having this information as a hard copy along with the bank. You are paying for this information, make use of it! Plus it's fun to look back in 20 years and say I only paid $200 for that way back when. Most of the banks today selling for $200-$400 were $15-$50 in the mid 1970's, big money when the reference guides I have were printed. Please ask any and all questions before auction ends.
