Vintage 1950s Snow Crest Beverages Glass Bear Bank Bottle - Salem Mass - Vintage Packaging

Vintage Snow Crest Beverages Bear-Shaped Glass Bank Bottle

DETAILS

• Brand: Snow Crest Beverages, Inc., Salem, Mass. (embossed on base)
• Original syrup/beverage bottle in figural bear shape, designed as a coin bank after use
  
• Original screw-on metal cap with coin slot

Snow Crest Beverages produced figural glass syrup bottles in the mid-20th century, designed to double as novelty coin banks once emptied - a popular home-market gimmick of the era. This piece retains its original coin-slot cap.

Fill with coins, marbles, or sea glass for a colorful display piece, or use as originally intended — a fun still-functional bank.

SIZE 7" tall

CONDITION Very good, gently used. Glass free of chips or cracks. Cap is mildly yellowed with age, and shows expected wear from use, especially around the coin slot,  but functions properly, screwing on securely.

This is a vintage item. It has been used and loved and it has a history. Please examine photos carefully and ask questions. We want you to love your bear bank.
