About VintageBanker.net
Welcome to VintageBanker.net – your destination for exploring the rich, tangible history of American banking through the objects it left behind.
We specialize in identifying, cataloging, and preserving vintage banking artifacts, with a particular focus on:
- Canvas and leather deposit bags
- Night drop and coin bags
- Cast iron and still banks
- Silver and commemorative bank rounds
- Historic ledgers, documents, and bank-issued promotional items
From the rugged stitching of a 1940’s canvas deposit sack to the brass fittings of a leather night bag, every object tells a story of trust, security, and the evolving face of financial service in America. Whether used by a small-town savings & loan or a national institution, these tools were once central to daily commerce, and are now treasured by collectors and historians alike.
What We Offer:
- Archival-quality catalog entries and research
- Identification and authentication resources
- Blog posts exploring the design, function, and history of banking tools
