G.B. Fenstermaker Coin Bank
This vintage coin bank was made by G.B. Fenstermaker in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and is designed to resemble a miniature blanket chest. It features classic Pennsylvania Dutch motifs, including hearts and tulips, and is made of cast metal—possibly aluminum. This piece is a great find for collectors of folk art, vintage banks, or Lancaster County memorabilia. The bank includes its original screw on the bottom, which holds the two halves together securely. It measures approximately 3 3/4 x 2 1/4 x 2 3/8 (L x W x H). It shows some paint wear consistent with age, but this only adds to its vintage charm and authenticity. Overall, it’s a well-crafted and distinctive decorative item that displays beautifully and would make a thoughtful gift for collectors or enthusiasts.
