The Banks Line was introduced in 1934. The first such piece, "1st Money Chest" produced in 1934. Over the years the line ranged from copies of popular cookie jar pieces such as the "Liberty Bell" and "Granny". Most banks were produced as "advertising" pieces, or for actual "Banks", such as "The Howard Savings Institute" circa 1957.
The Marks on various Banks over the years ranged from the full line of McCoy marks including: "McCoy USA", "McCoy", and "McCoy Limited" (McCoy LTD.) to name a few.
Several banks were made up to 1996 by "The McCoy Collection" and "Designer Accents." neither of which are or where related to the "McCoy Pottery" company.
