This lot features a collection of seven coin-sorting banks produced in the mid-20th century. The collection includes two examples in their original retail packaging: a Chadwick See-Thru Bank and a Spiral Sorting Bank. The Chadwick See-Thru Bank is a gravity-fed mechanical model constructed of grey, clear, and black molded plastic. It features embossed text reading AUTOMATIC SEE-THRU BANK and includes graduated channels for halves, quarters, nickels, pennies, and dimes. It is accompanied by its original red and white retail box. The Spiral Sorting Bank, marketed as The Bank That Thinks, is housed in its original yellow and red retail box. The mechanism utilizes a internal spiral track designed to distribute coins into vertical sorting tubes. The collection includes three promotional still sorting banks. One is branded for The Plain Dealer with the slogan WATCH YOUR PROFITS GROW printed on a clear plastic panel with chrome-plated metal trim and a red base. Two compact promotional banks are labeled for the First National Bank of Akron, featuring chrome-plated metal housings with clear plastic inserts and top labels displaying an eagle emblem and Member F.D.I.C. notation. Two additional gravity-style sorting banks are present. One unit is identical in form to the Chadwick model with a black base and grey housing, while the other is a larger square format bank featuring clear plastic internal ramps for sorting various denominations, including a dedicated slot for paper currency.
