| The pictures below show several larger views of this 1968 Dakin & Company Santa Monica California Antique Automobile Painted Plaster Coin Bank. We believe that someone won this bank at arcade or carnival type game in Santa Monica, California, perhaps at an amusement park, pier, or boardwalk. Someone noted this on the bottom in pencil, along with the date month and year that they got it. It is marked on the license plate and the bottom as follows: 1914 (lightly printed)

AUG 1970 The old car looks like it is painted in layers with different 1960s or 1970s colors. The coin slot is on the roof and there is a round black rubber stopper in the bottom opening. This car bank measures about 4-5/8'' tall by 6-5/8'' long by 3-1/4'' wide. It appears to be in excellent condition with only a few tiny paint flakes or chips as pictured. |
