Metal coin bank, one of a series from Banthrico, Chicago, this is the 1900 Baker Electric Car / Pillbox Coupe. These were made in the 1970’s and were frequently personalized to advertise different business' These are made of DIECAST “white metal” with the brass color being applied through an electroplating process and finished with a clear lacquer. The wheels roll and are also metal. Very cute for a little boys room or nursery.
Approximate size: 5” l x 2.75” w x 3.5” h
Condition: Very good vintage condition, please see photos, this has been gently played with and has some wear but not much for its age imo.

Keats said "A thing of beauty is a joy forever". Each of us has a different idea of what "beauty" is. I find unique vintage items and offer them to you, the beholder.

Hi, I'm Cynthia. I am a shop owner on multiple platforms with 20+ years of experience. I do everything within my power, including packing with great care and shipping fully insured, to get your "thing of beauty" to you safely. I have recently moved to the mountains of eastern Tennessee where I find my treasures and offer them to you, the beholder. I hope you will find your "thing of beauty" here.
I was raised in a home where bone china, silver and fine crystal were both used and appreciated. This translated into a love of antiques and handmade items of similar quality. I love the journey that leads me to these beautiful things and I hope you will enjoy my "finds" as much as I have enjoyed finding them.
Please feel free to reach out to me via text or email with any questions you may have. I am frequently hiking on the weekends so your best chance of a speedy response will be during weekday business hours.
Follow me on FB and Instagram where I share additional information on the creation/history of my items.
Helping you find your thing of beauty, Cynthia
