1969 Rochester Red Wings Bank
Day 288 – 15 October 2024
Earlier, I showed you a Orioles version of this bank. The one today I am showing you is from 1969. Instead of the Orioles, this is a version from their affiliate minor league club in New York. This is the Rochester Red Wings ceramic coin bank. The banks were issued between 1969-1970 by Wyatt, Dunnigan, and Williams Inc as a customer promo item for various local banks. The minor league versions are very hard to find. I have never seen one before. The Red Wings were the Orioles International League AAA affiliate of the Orioles from 1961-2002. The bank is in great shape and says Bankers Trust Company of Rochester.
