Description: You are bidding on a Vintage Wolf's Head Motor Oil Bank or Safety Razor Blade Bank, Advertising Give-Away, Circa 1930s-1950s.
This small Wolf's Head Advertising Bank is not referenced in either of the guide books entitled Razor Blade Banks, An Illustrated History and Price Guide by Lester Dequaine copyrighted in 1988 or Collectibles for the Kitchen, Bath & ...Beyond A Pictorial Guide by Ellen Bercovici, Bobbie Zucker Bryson and Deborah Gilliam copyrighted 1998. However you can see that the maker's intention was for the customer to "Use as a bank or for razor blades", see Photos 1 and 4.
This item has oxidation both on its Top and Bottom. For accuracy it also has one shallow crease underneath the one D in Head, see Photo 10. I encourage Viewers to use eBay's Magnification Option to evaluate this Item for themselves.
The Bank is 3 1/2 inches high and has a 2 inch diameter.
I sold one similar to this Item last Month. Wolf's Head made these items for many years. I have come across three different versions of this coin bank/safety razor bank each having a different height and/or removeable lid size. They also made a later Coin Bank version that did not include the script that the User might also use it for Razor Blades. The above Photographs are New and are part of my Description. The Photos are of the Actual Item you will Receive. I only rotate and crop my pictures for posting.
