Nash's Mustard Lucky Joe Bank
Weighs Approx: 8.7 oz. Measures Approx: 4 ½ “ tall, diameter approx: 2 ½ “ at base. This is a 1930’s-40’s Nash’s Mustard Coin Bank. Great overall condition, no cracks or chips in the glass, lid screws off and on, w/ original paper lips, loose a bit in his right corner of mouth. Looked up patent number of 1126886 but got a date of 1915, relating to a jar / glass jar etc…didn’t sound like this though. Joe Louis is supposed to be the likeness on this glass jar. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest heavyweight boxers, period. Not only was Joe an elite athlete, but he was a superb human-being and a great American patriot, going above and beyond what his country had asked of his services, at a time when not many Black Americans were famous, either as athletes or as celebrities. Joe , dubbed “the brown bomber” fought and defeated Max Schmeling, of Germany in one of the most famous boxing rematches of all-time in 1938. The world itself, watched on, and held its collective breath, as the two heavy-weights battled and fought not only for a title belt, but for the complete admiration of each other’s separate nation’s, representing totally different ideologies. Joe won by a hugely decisive first-round knockout. His popularity was equal to that of Charles Lindbergh, just half a generation earlier. NOTE: Joe and Max held each other in great respect, and stayed in touch throughout the years, becoming not only great rivals, but great friends as well.
