MacDaddyRico Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The Mercury Rocket Bank by Duro... The second of six model types made by Duro... Earlier models employed a simple block as the launch mechanism, which fires with an identical spring-loaded mechanism...This feature was later modified to resemble a small bomb or airplane... This model, like the Atomic Bank, primarily came in a silver-grey matte finish, but I have an elusive and extraordinarily rare silver chromed version, as well as the extremely rare green model, of which I actually own four specimens... These were also produced overseas, the German model being modified with several differences: larger coin trap; absence of the words Mercury or Rocket Bank; an altered emblem omits the star; and the rear end has been hollowed out... It measures 8 x 2.25 x 1.5 inches... (I could not locate info on Patent website.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
