From 1956-1958 the baseball autograph
coin bank became a popular gift given
away by banks when opening a savings
account. This American All Stars bank
was manufactured by Kosta Dana-Barrell
Inc., located at 30 Broad Street, New
York, 4, NY. In 1958 these All Star
baseball coin banks were give away
across the country by banks when you
opened a $5.00 savings account. This
one was given away by Fidelity Federal
Savings, Milwood branch located at 315
S. Burdick St. - Kalamazoo, Michigan.
As described in a 1958 newspaper ad, "For home or office, souvenir
ornament to adorn your desk dresser,
kitchen, sideboard or knickknack rack.
Looks real . . . an exact replica of a
regulation baseball . . . same size,
too! Made of non-breakable white
plastic with raised hand-painted red
stitches . . . mounted on attractive
black trophy base with coin slot in the
bottom." The bank was available in both
National, and American All Stars. The
