A short time back, I placed a Want ad for a couple Veedol mini banks that I didn't have... Both version were made for the German market and have a "Flying V" instead of the "Flying A" logo... Thanks to Ebay Germany and John(Nucky), I now have all 5 versions(that I know of)....  Thankfully the 3 sellers all spoke English, much better than I speak German... And all 3 transactions were much less painless than I deserved!

If I recall correctly, the blue European Veedol bank came in two different versions with the country identified for the company being different. I think one said town in Austria and the other a town in Germany. What town does yours say?

I think it might be Vienna, Austria. It's been several years since I looked at them and mine are in storage so I can't check them. I think the banks are identical except fot the town.

Looking good Bob. The cans that is. If Michelle knew the back of the cans had pictures on them, We'd both be in a heap of trouble!!! Haha
