Here is the most cunning little antique still piggy bank. It appears to have its original cream putty type color base ? with little brown eyes. The colors are so life like and real. There are remnants of pink in the pig?s ears and along his mouth and snout. The animation is perfect ? he has a great look. He has a goofy little smile on his face. As you can see by the pictures the casting was done in two pieces. He stands on a platform with a plaque that reads THRIFY on the front. He is also holding a sign that reads ? THE WISE PIG SAVE A PENNY YESTERDAY ANOTHER SAVE TODAY TOMORROW SAVE ANOTHER TO KEEP THE WOLF AWAY. There is an impressed mark on the back for the copyright which reads - © J.M.R. As you would expect there is some chipped off paint loss here and there. But it is very sturdy and quite the collectible item. I would suspect that this bank would be fairly rare. I have had lots and lots of banks but I have never had this particular subject. The detail is fabulous and realistic (except of course for the smile). I can?t say enough about how precious he is all the way down to his curly little piggy tail. He measures 6 ¾? at highest x 2 ¾?w x 2 7/8? deep.
