Annual Convention
The annual convention is held in various parts of the country in early June
each year featuring a new member orientation, guest speakers, informative
seminars and visits to prominent collections of local members. The convention
features an auction of usually 400+ quality still banks. All (primary) members
will be presented a specifically manufactured convention bank.
Historically these become most collectable in their own right. The
majority or members attending offer banks for sale or trade. A larger
selection of antique still banks will not be viewed or offered anywhere in the
world annually! Past conventions have been in New Orleans, Gettysburg,
Orlando, and Kansas City Mo. Future conventions will be held in Dayton
Oh, and Chicago in 2013.
