Product Details
Here is a charming 1960 Fred Kail University of Illinois Football Statue Bank, standing a full 10 inches tall, a wonderful example of mid-century collegiate memorabilia and functional folk art. This delightful piece combines school spirit with playful design, reflecting both the era’s craftsmanship and the enduring appeal of vintage college collectibles.
The figure depicts a stylized Illinois football player in classic uniform, complete with helmet and cleats. The details are crisply rendered, from the folds of the jersey to the athletic stance, and the hand-painted colors — traditional orange and blue of the Fighting Illini — remain bright and vibrant.
The piece doubles as a coin bank, with a secure slot for coins. The original markings, including the Fred Kail signature and University of Illinois attribution, remain clearly visible, authenticating this as an officially produced collector’s item.
Condition is excellent, with strong paint, no structural damage, and a pleasing patina consistent with age. Standing 10 inches tall, it commands presence on display and remains an engaging and functional reminder of mid-century collegiate football fandom. Please call directly or email
