I purchased this bank for $4.50 at a thrift shop I just discovered in Hyannis, MA. I was in a hurry and couldn’t really inspect the shop like I wantd to but this bank caught my eye as I was getting ready to leave.
I love the eyelashes.
I like the sun logo on the original “made in japan” sticker. I wish it had a date.
The elephant’s backside!

This looks stone cold late 60’s/ early 70’s to me. Same era as this little bunny bank would be my best guess: https://www.alleewillis.com/awmok/kitschenette/2011/02/25/daisy-bunny-bank/
Excellent colors and shape. So so sweet!

What kills me is that the people who donated this bank had dropped off an entire collection of elephant banks! At least that’s what the employees told me.
