Vintage metal college mascot bank of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets made by Banthrico in the 1960's.
This hard to find old bank is cast in metal with a bronze finish and excellent detail with the Yellow Jacket's nose still sharp and pointy. The base reads "GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS". The back has the advertisement for the bank it's promoting - "Macon Federal Savings and Loan Association" of Macon, Georgia. The underside has the metal coin slot/trap inscribed "BANTHRICO INC. - CHICAGO, U.S.A."
It stands 6.25" tall by 4.5" wide by 2.5" deep, and weighs 1 lb.
It's in very good condition with no cracks or breaks and just has some oxidation on the part of the base and some rusting on the underside. A terrific old bank from the 60's for your Georgia Tech memorabilia or mascot bank collection.
