I have been collecting still bank since 1978 when i purchased a Prancing Horse bank at a local flea market for $2.00. I bought it as a gift fro my Dad who had a small collection of toys and banks, but I liked it so much I decided to keep it myself. I started collecting all types of banks, but it wasn't until I was showing my Dad a recent safe bank that I purchased that I had any interest in specializing in any particular genre of banks. He commented - 'Why would anyone want to collect safes? There must be a hundred of them out there.'. The challenge was on! While I still collect a little of everything, I have actively focused on safe banks since the late 90's. I currently reside in York County, PA with my wife Beth and two teenage children; William and Molly.
