our members current on mechanical bank news and activities. Annual Convention — In late September or October, an annual meeting hosted by MBCA members. The Convention consists of informal and formal gatherings of members from a wide range of backgrounds with a common interest in Mechanical Banks. There are two dinners, tours to see members’ collections, a bank auction, informative seminars, meetings, room hopping, and other interesting activities. Check List and Price Guide — Informative guide that provides members with a price range for old Mechanical Banks. Special Reports and Videotapes of Convention Presentations — Supplemental reports compliment the available information. Our public web scrapbook section is indexed and can be searched by key words. If you printed the content, you would have over 3,000 8½" x 11" pages covering Antique Mechanical Banks and the history of bank collectors and collecting. Members reference and chat areas contain an additional 2,000 pages of material published by the MBCA. The Password required to access the members pages is available only to members.
