BANK
Is this the quirkiest coin/piggy Bank ever or is it the Quirkiest Nodder/Bobble Head ever? We think both. The pink-flocked, paper mache Mouse is
very
sensitive - the head quivers with the slightest provocation. The Orange functions equally well with a coin slot on the back and original rubber stopper underneath. We think the Orange is ceramic, but it could be chalkware since Tilso made several chalkware items around the same time. Ready to display and admire.
CONDITION:
The original paper hang tag is still attached to the Mouse's neck. On it is printed "This is a Savings Bank by Tilso" Japan. The Mouse has blue shading above the eyes, along the rim of the ears and on all four paws. This has faded a bit, especially on the paws -so the color could easily be mistaken for dirt or dust. Actually, all the flocked surfaces are in excellent condition. The orange is fully intact with no paint losses, crazing, cracks, chips or repairs. This item is very clean and completely odor free.
