Conventions
The annual convention is held in various parts of the country in early June
each year featuring a new member orientation, guest speakers, informative
seminars and visits to prominent collections of local members. The convention
features an auction of usually 400+ quality still banks. All (primary) members
will be presented a specifically manufactured convention bank.
Historically these become most collectable in their own right. The
majority or members attending offer banks for sale or trade. A larger
selection of antique still banks will not be viewed or offered anywhere in the
world annually!
Each year the
club commissions a convention bank to be made and presented to convention
attendees. The following are banks from the 2002 Marietta convention in Ohio. The
two banks on the right are SBCCA designed and presented to primary
members. The left was made in a very limited run by Reynolds Toys and
offered for sale also.
