Yes it is big enough for coins & makes a lot of sense now that you mention it. Thanks again...Merry Christmas...Beebs _____________________________ If the snow is too deep to dig a dump, dig an old attic" (in reply to towhead) Post #: 5

RE: Elephant - 12/22/2007 12:22:17 AM    acls   Posts: 305 Joined: 6/2/2005 Status: offline I am pretty sure that is one of those Grapette elephant banks.  They are from the 1950s and would have held Grapette soda.  The screw top on those had a slot so you could use it as a bank when you were done with the soda.  They also had a cat and clown version.  There are two types of Elephant banks Grapette put out.  One brings $10 and the other around $75.  I am not sure which one yours is.  The differnce between the two has something to do with the Elephants ears.

RE: Elephant - 12/22/2007 1:21:44 AM    cobaltbot Posts: 1693 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline I don't think Castle and Grapette are the same company, that one's from Castle, circa 1930's.  The dump I found mine in had nothing dating after 1942. _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back....

RE: Elephant - 12/22/2007 1:24:50 AM    Jim Posts: 2434 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline Very cool bottle. There were some interesting figural bottles from the 30s-50s, and the elephants are probably my favorites of them. I have the amber elephant figural bleach bottle from the 30s. I'll have to see if I have a picture of it anywhere, or if I think of it I'll take one and put it up. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to acls) Post #: 14

RE: Elephant - 12/22/2007 1:59:46 AM    cobaltbot Posts: 1693 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline I'd like to see it.  This one's from Castle Product's Company, hard to find any info on them but I assume it was a similar use to grapette bottles.  ACLS is right about Grapette having a kitten, clown and two elephants, the one I have is called the regular elephant and the other called the slick eared elephant and is worth a lot more. They also used Snowcrest's bear according to this website: http://www.nwmangum.com/Grapette/History.html _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back....
