A classic treasury, this book has more than 1,670 still banks
beautifully presented in color and many more black and white
illustrations. Focusing on American and English banks, there are many
lovely examples of still banks from other countries as well, all rated
in terms of their scarcity. Pages from manufacturer's catalogues are
reproduced, and the text relates the histories of the manufacturers,
specific details about the banks, and information for collectors about
clubs and publications where more information can be obtained. The
Moores also include a series of conversion tables which correlate the
numbering system used in his book with that of all the other major works
on still banks. The Penny Bank Book makes its predecessors obsolete. No
enthusiast should be without this entertaining, magnificently organized
masterwork.
