 Universal Studios Did Sell A Very Similar Item  Late 60's  To Mid 70's..  I Believe Other Monsters Were Available As Well.  I Remember Getting A Don Post 1/2 Mask Of The Phantom Of The Opera,  Saw The Munster's House, And The Lagoon From Mchale's Navy And  Gilligan's Island.  And  I Went On A Tour Of Lucile Balls Dressing Room.   I Wish I Still Had The Lon Chaney Phantom Mask...  Good Times!!!!

I was watching that auction and found that ebay price astonishing, mainly because these banks were always a REALLY tough sell for me. I used to price these banks in the $25-$35 range, and they would sit...and sit...and sit. Nobody wanted them. I still have a Wolfman and a Frankenstein version somewhere that never sold!

Frankenstein?!? This I wanna see!  Price-wise I'm inclined to think this is just another fluke of ebay, but with the way things fluctuate, who knows. As long as they buyer is happy with it I suppose...
