In the nineteenth century, trade cards advertised every business, product, and service imaginable. Among the most interesting products promoted via trade cards were mechanical banks. These were toy savings banks, usually made of cast iron, with one or more moving parts.

Toy mechanical banks are eminently collectible today. This alone would ensure interest in the trade cards that advertise these banks, but mechanical bank trade cards stand on their own. They are absolutely terrific trade cards from any objective graphics standpoint, and they are extremely scarce.

Mechanical Bank Trade Cards, originally published privately by Bruce D. Roberts in 1996 in a limited edition of 100 copies, looks at each known bank trade card in depth. Full-size, full-color illustrations of each mechanical bank trade card (including variants) are here, along with approximate valuations. Information on bank manufacturers and trade card printers is included as well.

Sturdy, roomy, preserves my shoulders!
Color: Pink
Cute and perfect to help me with my new "minimalist" commitment. After multiple shoulder surgeries I needed to get the purse straps OFF my shoulders. This wristlet hangs on my wrist without slipping off and has enough room for my wallet, chapstick, hand sanitizer, air pods, a few pens, a protein bar, and one or two other random items. Looks small, holds a LOT! Withstands my everyday life of banging it around, spilling coffee on it, and generally putting it through a wringer. It still looks great!

A great, small wristlet purse.
Color: Black
I purchased an ivory and navy blue GAYI URBAN clutch bag and love them! Small, Cute, classy and surprising how much you can fit in the purse! I also purchased a black one that smells like dead fish and am returning that one. That is disappointing.
