QUINCO banks
This thread will probably have no life, since it deals with (primarily) college football but I wonder if anyone has pictures to share. I think these things are pretty cool. This website gives an overview:
https://vintagemascots.weebly.com/quinco.html There are many uncatalogued. I picked this one up for 10 bucks. It had originally been Louisiana Tech. It was painted over and I painted over it again to make a Utah Ute. BTW, Utah Utes do exist but I doubted I'd ever find one.

I'll breathe some life into this, if you'll rotate the pics for me. No amount of editing I do works, unless I snap the original pic in "Landscape" mode.
Here are my five... The only 2 professional teams ever made: Saints Bills And 3 of the many college teams made: Penn State Florida Tulsa (my personal favorite and a real rarity- The Golden Hurricane) Some of these Banks were made under the BUCO name (not Quinco). The two brands are quite identical, and I think it was a geographical or licensing issue that dictated which school fell under which of the two manufacturers. Regardless, these are among the most underrated and unheralded memorabilia items out there. Tough to find in nice condition, and impossible to find some of the schools. I am positive there are many that have never even been catalogued. Last edited by perezfan; 05-06-2020 at 04:47 PM. |

Nice job restoring that one Rob... looks great! I'll keep an eye out for an Ohio U. example (now that I know you like them!)
Here's another that I've been chasing forever (with no luck). GA Tech apparently has 3 different variations, but this bad-ass example is by far my favorite. Hopefully we have some other Quinco/BUCO collectors here who can post a few more! Last edited by perezfan; 05-06-2020 at 04:48 PM. |

If you look at that website, GA Tech had four variations!

I have this one...any idea of year (ballpark)? And I assume the decal at the bottom is a defect, probably wasn't made that way. Has the original plug too. It's pretty cool, the colors are awesome.

1960’s, I would think.

I really like the Saints!
I can rotate them but they get small. I’m sure on my “real” computer I could rotate and keep them big.

These things are so random....sometimes the base will have the mascot name; sometimes the school name; sometimes a bank’s name; sometimes nothing.

Lots of variation, which makes them great to collect. It's almost as if the "artists" were given free reign to do what they wanted. Either that, or they were just cheap, with minimal attention to detail. |

Yep, the Saints' Mascot is super cool. His name is "Sir Saint", and his image was only used for a very brief time on their earliest programs, advertising and such. I think they've brought him back recently as one of those on-field Mascots. But not as good-looking as the original (it's never really quite the same... is it?)
