DescriptionA piggy bank in the shape of the Albuquerque Isotopes minor league baseball team’s mascot, Orbit. Orbit has the shape of a dog, but has and orange body and a yellow head and ears. The mascot is wearing an Isotopes jersey with a red “O” on the front and three balls, representing atoms, attached to springs coming off the top of its head. Orbit stands on a white home plate. Along the base of the plate, it says, “Orbit" in bold letters. There is a plaque above this that says, “First State Bank” with each word on top of the other in all capitalized letters, as well as the state of New Mexico and “1st” in the middle of it. On the back of Orbit is a vertical slit where coins can be put into the piggy bank. There is a large plastic cover or stopper on the underside.On View
