Painted Chalkware Elf Coin Bank, Made in Japan Typically the graphics on theseThis chalkware coin bank has an awesome look to it, featuring the likeness of a crouching elf with painted features. Some might call this little creature creepy, but I think he's super cute. The bank includes the rubber stopper on the bottom to hold the coins in, and is marked "Japan." It is in good condition, though it does show some signs of wear and use including some very minor paint chipping and discoloration. Dimensions:: 4" L x 4" W x 9. 75" H
