Yes it does. And the bats have the Hillerich & Bradsby stamp on each of them. It makes me wonder if the bat company was involved in some way with the production of these.

You would certainly think so...just like the pen and pencil sets you see in wood and, later, plastic.

Default Bat Banks
Here is mine. Similar to yours, Chris, but with a blue interior. This one is from the 1950’s with the eight American League teams plus an American League bat and a Hall Of Fame bat. Unfortunately, mine is missing the Yankees bat and I have not been able to find a replacement.

Default Woods bat rule!
Wood bat banks are really cool Chris.

I collect baseball shaped banks that were mostly premiums from banks around the country.

I do have a couple of 60s plastic bat banks - what attracted me to them was the condition and the fact that they came in their original sleeve and box.

Note - I've got one team and one player bat bank - and the "Mick" is right there!





The player bank has Mantle, Aaron, Bench, Clemente, Yaz, Frank Robinson, Rose... as top names.

Very cool, with the original packaging!

I’d show images of mine, but can no longer get photos to upload on this site.

I plucked this photo off the Google image gallery. The bat bank comes from 1955, which might have been the first year. I love how they used orange for the Orioles. Can you imagine how cool it would have been had they done all 16 teams?

If I was an Orioles collector, that would be a “grail”!

I have a couple of the banks and have seen them around - NEVER saw one in the original packaging before! Thanks for sharing those.

From the H&B 1963 Famous Slugger Yearbook. I'm tempted to send them a dollar.

Those ones with the wood bats are super cool. I have always wanted to get a center stand and then get the player/team bats i want to fill it up. Would cost way too much and then I would have a bunch of ruined complete sets so I have never even started that collection.
