My wife asked if I minded picking up some stuff she found on Freecycle for the art teachers in her department. I said sure and look what it was!!!
These are not just Crayon banks. They are 5 ft. tall. The two on the left are 6.2" in diameter and the one on the right is 5.4" in diameter.
I hope the teachers aren't too disappointed ...

I'd buy her a pack of crayons and say "oh look, honey, they had the whole set" and hand them over. Try not to smile too big....

97% of the time, I'm right-the other 5% doesn't bother me.
There comes a point in your life that looks just like all the other points you didn't notice either.
If I had a nickel for every dollar I spent on rockets, I'd have more rockets.
You may have had more fun in your life than me, but the chaos was undeniable.

OH Ya, I get my pick! All of them if I want.Originally Posted by chadrog
Actually the center is cardboard tube and the front and back have shoulders just like rocket parts. Getting better all the time.

Wow, and Crayola brand, too. Not the generic "Crayon" bank. Nice find!

All jokeing aside, that is an awesome find- those things are expensive!

Is there a company name or website or anything on them that might lead us to the source? They look cool that big.

Thanks for the link, Scotty Dog. At first, I thought 38 bucks+ shipping was high (I'm mainly a scratch-builder used to not paying kit prices), but the more I thought about it, you could pay more than that for a smaller rocket, that could lack the "wow factor" of a Crayon that size.
Anybody ever seen 'em in stores?

Never that large, but 4" diameter crayon banks can usually be found at Toys R Us.
