Ancient Age Bourbon Whiskey 6" Banded Wooden Oak Barrel Bank Brass Accents Vtg

Description

Up for auction/sale is a vintage heavy duty 6" wooden barrel bank with brass accents designed to look like a real mini- whiskey barrel, which was an advertisement for Ancient Age Whiskey. I tried to date this bank and although I found 3 other images, noe of them connected to a live link, so the best I could determine was vintage. Since there are no advertisements on the internet, it's my best guess this predates the "digital data age" (circa pre-1990).
Regardless, this is a cool piece which seldom becomes available, and would look great on anyone's shelf, or as the receptacle for change leading up to your next desire… it is a bank after all…
The barrel itself is in excellent condition with no signs of damage, and only minor scuffs and scratches to the band, but it's still very shiny and almost no signs of corrosion. I believe the wood is oak and the brads/bands are brass, they may be another alloy but the wood and accents are of substantial quality. The rough overall height of the bank is 6", the barrel tapers to 4" on both ends, with the bulbous width 4 3/4".
The bank has a 1 3/4" opening, but the original stopper was missing. I fashioned a stopper from heavy duty malleable foam which works fine, but it's not original.
I have described this barrel bank as best I can, but to augment my description I have provided several high-resolution images from varying angles to allow for a detailed review of quality, condition, and design.
This will be packaged with care to best ensure this rarely offered Ancient Age advertisement arrives as pictured and described.
