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. |

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.

In my collection of sales premiums, salesmen's awards and sweeper miniatures, I have a 1205 bank that is spray-painted in metallic gold paint. On the bottom of it there's a clear sticker that states "Celebrating 50 Years 1924-1974 - ELECTROLUX Golden Jubilee" with the word Electrolux done up as the block-letter logo of that time and the word "Celebrating" at an angle and in a script-style font called (or similar to) Coronet. I also have the turquoise and tan Model G banks, a 1205, a brown and white Olympia, a gray Silverado, the two Canadian 89s shown above, and also Model XII and XII banks! The XII bank is a leatherette-covered bank made to look like a little book, that would be hidden in someone's library I suppose. The XXX bank is a plastic box that also has a calendar. Here are some photos. |

Hi Charles Richard. Did Electrolux make any LX/LXI banks? I'm sure it wouldn't have the ejector, (I can see it now, quarters all over the place) but perhaps one where the front cover pops open. As for Electrolux ashtrays, I have only one, it's an early model G. I got it from somebody in the early days of the club, perhaps you, if not then either Mike Pupek, or Craig Long.

I don't think so but seem to recall a mini Discovery II with a small digital clock display across motor housing. |
