I recently came across a vintage plastic bat bank for the first time, and I couldn't resist adding it to my completely unfocused collection. The ones from the 1960s and beyond with plastic bats are quite easy to find, but the ones from the 1950s with wood bats seem to be much tougher. They were made by a company called Van Dine, which I believe was located in New Jersey. The earliest example I can find is a Baltimore Orioles bank from 1955. All the others I've seen are either all AL teams, all NL teams or "famous sluggers," which seem to be the highest in demand.
Does anybody else collect these or have some information to add? Last edited by Chris-Counts; 06-07-2019 at 12:22 PM. |
