Pink Piggy Bank Retro Mid-20th Century in Perfect Condition with Label

Sweet piggy bank by Lefton’s Exclusives Japan.

In perfect condition with original label still attached to the base. After WWII, Japan was the U.S.’s major supplier of trinkets of all kinds. Today U.S. trinkets come from China. I remember when Japan had the job of supplying the U.S. with lovelies of all kinds. The product was 100 times better than that we receive from China today.

This little piggy was hand-painted with applied flower eyes and stem roses on its back. It is in perfect condition. There is no hole on the belly for removing coins. It’s the type of bank that must be broken to remove the coins. Or the coins can be removed by turning the bank upside down and using a knife to direct the coins to slide out.

Measures 6″ long and 4¼” tall. Circa 1940’s to 1950’s. Great as a child’s gift with some special coins to put inside, or for your favorite piggy bank collector.
