Electrolux Banks

[collector2]

I've been meaning to do this for a while. I've never seen a complete list of the Electrolux Save 'n Pay banks so I thought its time one was made.

To begin with there is a popular misconception that they were salesmens sample. In truth the original idea of the banks was to give the customer an easy way to pay for their machines. The original banks held $10 worth of quarters. The monthly payment on a new machine was usually $10. By just saving their quarters the customer could easily save up the monthly payment.

I will begin with the Canadian models. I will leave a blank for any I am missing.

The first bank in Canada was made to match the model 88.

The second one was to match the model 89

I am not totally certain about the 3rd Canadian bank. I have the US model 1205 bank in the same colour as the Canadian AP100 (shown in the US section) but I don't know if it was used in place of the one to match the 100. I have never come across one that looks like the AP100 but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

The 4th one was made to match the AP200

 

[collector2]

The 5th one was to match the AP280

 

[collector2]

The 6th one matched the E2000

 

[collector2]

The 7th one matched the 2100

 

[collector2]

The 8th one matched the System 90

 

[collector2]

And the 9th and final one matched the E6000 / E6500

I am not as certain about the US models but I will add what I can here. Please add any information or corrections you can after the list.

The first one in the US was the Blue model G

 

[collector2]

The 2nd one was the Brown model G

 

[collector2]

I am not certain if these two versions exist so I am not including them in the numbered list. I have seen this bank in White and Gold as well. The white, however may have just been a poor picture of a blue one and the Gold one looked to me like it had been painted.

The 3rd version was the model 1205

 

[collector2]

This is the tan version of the 1205. I don't know if it belongs here as a US model or in the Canadian section.

 

[collector2]

The 4th version matched the Golden J / Super J. Unfortunately I havn't been able to find one of these.

 

[collector2]

The 5th Version matched the Olympia 1

 

[collector2]

The 6th version, which I am also missing, matched the Silverado

 

[collector2]

The 7th version matched the Diamond Jubliee

 

[collector2]

Past this one I havn't found any others so I don't know if there were any more to match the Marquis or the Grand Marquis / Legacy. Or for that matter any others.
