Glendale National Bank was started in
1957 by a group led by John M. Lawson,
whose sister, Edna, was married to
the legendary manager of the New York
Yankees and later the New York
Mets, Casey Stengel. Lawson was the
bank’s first chairman and Stengel was
an honorary vice president. Casey a
major stockholder didn't collect a
salary, just a $25. fee for attending
board meetings. Among the shareholders
were: Randy More, former outfielder for
Casey at Brooklyn, White Sox Manager Al
Lopez, and Yankee co-owner Del Webb.
On December 16, 1957 the Glendale
National Bank had a gala preview for
shareholders, public officials, and
guests, at it's new 434 North Bend
Blvd. Location in Glendale. The
following day, Tuesday, December 17,
Glendale National Bank held an open
house, with door prizes and
refreshments. This baseball coin bank
was a gift given to shareholders and
gusts that attended the opening
celebrations
The baseball features; a facsimile Casey Stengel signature in blue, on a

Glendale, Cali." to the right of the
banks trademark logo, on the front and
back. Under the base features the coin
slot that reads "Kosta Dana-Barrell
Inc., located at 30 Broad Street, New
York, 4, NY."
On April 1, 1960 The bank opened a new branch at 4404 Riverside Drive, in
Tolula Lake, under the Name Valley

of the Glendale bank was formally
changed.
