Did any of you have a "Coffin Bank"?

Or any of these other wonderful comic book ad items? Probably people over 40 remember some of these. And yes...before anyone asks...I did have the "Spy Pen Radio"! LOL

Oh sure. Delete the thread I repsonded to.
Sorry...I think I was updating as you were typing!
I actually got a batch of the 100 army men and one of the tiny spy cameras one summer at the farm in MI. Soldiers were tiny!
I still have an original coffin bank with glow in the dark skeleton hand, my coffin bank is much older than the one in the article tho with a full metal turn key and black felt cover for the skeleton arm. Might be one of the first types.
all around collector of many fine things
I, like so many other kids "back in the day", pestered our parents for the "cool stuff" in the back of the comic books we read. I liked the stroll down memory lane and will share this with my daughters...who still think that I am a nerd...and they are right!

I've never had one !!!
When I was dealing in antique toys, I had all kinds of neat stuff.
Even...GAY... Police.
I never had any 'comic book' toys... but I did get a 'Sky King secret decoder ring'....it had the Morse Code stamped into one surface (and a mini-telescope)... and I credit that ring with my initial interest in code and my naval career as a Radioman. Cheers, RickO
Yes, I was "that guy"...the one who ordered the X-Ray specs.
I did have a coffin bank and sea monkeys when I was a young boy. Thanks for the link, that really brings back some memories.
