Show your BASEBALL CAP (ball head) BANKS
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?

Wow Rob! That is fantastic and quick detective work. There were definately red and blue examples which would about cover it for the 60s. I've never seen your San Fran example it's a beauty!
Here is my contribution and the only example of the Cubs I've seen.

Cool, Mike! I couldn't tell from the other pic if your Cubs example had a blue or black hat.
Mine is in great shape. The paint chips very easily.

There are more royal blue banks of the Pilots, Burgundy Phillies, bright red Reds and Nats.

I think these are neat little items. I've seen a mint Orioles one too. I have this Wichita Aeros one that came from a bank in Wichita of course .

Wouldn't that be Mr. Met's disembodied head?

Orioles
I guess I'll have to start digging. I know I have an Orioles one somewhere. Probably not minty like some of your guys, but not bad. I think mine just lists "Baltimore Orioles", but we'll see.
Also, I picked one up years and years ago (cheap) and it doesn't have the eyes painted. At this point I can't remember if it has a logo either. Maybe the dig will unearth that one as well... |
