I ONLY us this info to send you info on my Ebay auctions, absolutely nothing else.     You are bidding on a cast iron Kenton small Crosley Radio Bank. Produced by Kenton Brand from 1931 until 1936. F.M. Perkins founded Kenton Hardware Co. in 1890 in Kenton, Ohio. Toy production began in 1894 with a line of horse-drawn fire equipment, banks, and toy stoves. Renamed Kenton Hardware in 1900. Became part of mammoth National Novelty Corp. merger in 1903, it continued its toy line under the name Wing Mfg. Co. Involved in several unsuccessful takeovers, and it eventually emerged as a separate unit, the Kenton Hardware Co., and again produced toys successfully from 1920-1935. Kenton ceased production in 1952 and assets were sold in 1953. The Littlestown Hardware & Foundry acquired many Kenton toy designs and marketed them under the brand "Utexiqual". Littlestown folded in 1982. A very nice and scarce bank There are no cracks, chips, breaks of any kind other than any stated. The bank has 90% of its paint and has a nice patina. Looks like an old repaint.  The seams are tight, the pieces align well, has the original large Kenton coin trap.  4 1/4” tall x 4 ”. In Moore’s penny book #820 @ $300-$500 in 2008!        I suggest to the winner to print a copy of this auction, it will increase the resale value of your purchase tremendously having this information as a hard copy along with the bank. You are paying for this information, make use of it! Plus it’s fun to look back in 20 years and say I only paid $200 for that way back when. Most of the banks today selling for $200-$400 were $15-$50 in the mid 1970’s, big money when the reference guides I have were printed.   Please ask any and all questions before auction ends.
