Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Two Vintage Advertising Bottle Coin Banks for Labatt’s IPA and Philadelphia Blended Whisky
This lot features two mid-century advertising coin banks designed in the form of oversized beverage bottles. The first bank represents Labatt’s India IPA Pale Ale, constructed from green molded plastic with a matte texture. It retains its original paper labels, including a neck label marked Product of Canada Imported. The red crown-style cap is designed with a coin slot. The second bank is modeled after a Philadelphia Blended Whisky bottle from the Continental Distilling Corporation. It is made of high-gloss amber plastic and includes the original main paper label and a gold foil neck label featuring the Liberty Bell emblem. A coin slot is located in the black plastic cap.
Condition report:
Both pieces exhibit wear typical for their age and material. The Labatt\'s bank shows paper label creasing and staining, and the red cap has a structural crack and paint loss. The Philadelphia bank labels show yellowing, and the foil neck label has significant peeling and material loss. Minor surface scuffs are present on both items.
