A recent addition to the September Pickups thread got me thinking about these little guys....
The label on the bottom says this bank is a product of Wyatt, Dunagan and Williams. Jack Wyatt was an Ad Exec, TV Host and, later, a priest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Wyatt WDW never produced novelty items; I guess they just were the middlemen between their clients and the Japanese company who made these banks. A quick Google search also turned up WDW banks of Santa Claus and a Boston Bruins hockey skate. How many teams were represented? Did they come in "team" colors or were they always painted black, red and white? Mine came from a guy who found it while doing either remodel or demo work on a bank in L.A. I wonder if that bank had an assortment of teams. The bank is marked 1969 and the cap logo would be correct from 1958-72. Does anyone actually remember seeing these guys at their brick and mortar bank branch?
