Welcome to the list, Gary!

I have one of those $crooge gumball banks that my Brother gave me as a 
Chrismas gift a couple of years ago (1992).  By coincidence, I saw that 
same bank in a gift shop in Las Vagas in December of '92.  I still have the 
box for mine, and the address on it is

    Superior Toy and Mfg. Co., Inc.
    3417 N. Halsted Street
    Chicago, Illinois  60657

If you are looking for a place to get another bank, you could write to them 
and add "Attn. Gum Ball Banks" on the envelope.

ALL:

Over the years I've seen scrooge merchandise appear now and then.  I have a 
$crooge jigsaw puzzle showing $crooge in a boat on a lake of coins.  About 
20 years ago I got a painted plaster $crooge bank that has taken up 
residence on my desk at work ever since.  My favorite $crooge peice is a 
sew on decal of $scrooge hanging on a vine looking down; this was copied 
from the cover of "The Swamp of No Return" by a friend of my brother who 
makes decals.  I've always wanted to put this on an Izod shirt just above 
the alligator--it'll be a long time before I get an Izod shirt, however.

Happy New Year, everyone!
