Check out this awesome restoration of a Mosler Junior Toy Bank Vault! I have always been they guy that picks up stray pennies, you know the old jingle "find a penny - pick it up - all day long you'll have good luck!" Not sure if this really hold true, but I'll take all of the good luck I? can get! But once I got my lucky penny home, I realized that I didn't have a suitable place to keep it.

So it was easier just to strain to get the blast nozzle inside the bank and spend a little extra time cleaning it up. From there it was on to the powder coating. Once I had everything looking new again, it was time for a re-assembly. The mos
