Great ad, what comic is that from? And I've never seen the statuette or the rabbit's foot, doubt if they were ever made. But they've got people sending money in for them, so what happened?

A friend actually sent me the picture a whle ago, since it showed how the dime bank was distributed - not sure where it is from, but from the picture it certainly looks like the back page of a comic or magazine. Maybe someone else here might know...

Since the dime bank and the bust bank are out there, I would guess that the other two would have been available. I can see that a rabbit's foot (real or fake!) might not hold up over the years (and probably weren't as popular as some of the others to begin with). But that full figure statue is really cool!

I actually tried out my dime bank (it can't be!) about thrirty five years ago, and it counted the dimes and wouldn't let me open it until I got to $5.00, as I recall. Then again, it's been a few years!
