Duro Mold Commemorative Destination Moon Bank Signed By Scott Carpenter.
Condition is Near Mint. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
This specimen had been signed in person at an Astronaut Autograph & Memorabilia Show in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
These banks were promotional items given to children whose parents brought them in to open a new savings account at their local bank.
Patented in 1959, the Destination Moon Bank was later modified to honor the Mercury Seven Astronauts beginning in 1961. The ring astride the Moon shows the astronauts' names.
Even though the Mercury Astronauts orbited the Earth, this bank honors them on the ring around the Moon. This is no mistake, as noted in another listing. The Mercury and Gemini Missions were all a part of the Apollo Program in America's Race For The Moon.
With the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing fast approaching, this one of a kind in the entire World signed specimen would make a stellar gift to that special Space Race enthusiast, or an excellent addition to your collection.
