TerryB Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 There was one done for the 1939 Wolds Fair with its logo on the reverse side. I have that one. If you find one with the paper label attached it tells you how to open it. You put a metal wedge in the coin slot and strike it with a hammer. The bank should split along the seam. I’m glad everyone who had one back in the day did not always follow those instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I worked in a boiler factory for a year between college and grad school. To keep their paint line busy they contracted to build and paint EXXON signs. This was 1972. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcpaxton Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Is this glass bank worth anything?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Yes! The ones without the 1939 Worlds Fair logo are more plentiful yet they seem to be disappearing from the marketplace in recent years. Hershey might have higher prices but I bought my Worlds Fair logo one for $35 at a local antique store. It is in excellent condition. With the great condition I would have paid $50 and felt I got a good deal. I also have a Standard Oil glass bank, will have to post a picture of it sometime.

Steve_Mack_CT Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Yeah I was thinking $50 range. Had mi e since we picked it up in the mid 70s, no idea what we paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
