Bank money bag - any value?
"JSTONE9352" wrote in message ... I have a cloth bank money bag from the Kent State Bank. Grand Rapids, Michigan that was to hold $500. Measures approx. 7 3/4" x 14". Has a tie string at the top. I assume it was to hold $500 in higher denomination currency. (would be hard to fit in $500 face value in coins in there). Hard to tell how old it is. Do banks still use money bags with their names imprinted on them? I found this while cleaning the computer room, I'm not sure where I got it from. (p.s. I didn't rob the bank) (smile face here). I have several of them from local banks here in Central Michigan, I have bought all of them for $2 - $9 each usually at estate or garage sales. Most of mine are from the late 1920's or early 1930's based on when the banks were using those names before mergers etc. BTW, I could imagine that indeed it would be quite easy to fit $500 in typical sized bank bags if.... they are large and golden ala Saints or Libertys I have also managed to get a few from Scotland, my fave there is the North of Scotland linen bag, pre 1950.

My bank doesn't have their name on the bags. They just order the bags
from the shipping dept. of the bank. Actually, they don't even have the denominations on the bag, come to think of it. The only way to know what is being shipped out is by looking at the shipment receipt attached to the bag. bob |
