This “Wise Pig” distinctive piggy bank showcases a design that goes back to the early-mid 20th century. Thrifty The Wise Pig was distributed by banks to educate people about financial prudence and the merits of saving for a rainy day. The pig stands on his hand legs, holding a sign that says “The Wise Pig”. This reproduction moneybox is screen printed, making for a very accurate finish, yet maintaining its attractive vintage style. A coin slot is located on top, and deposited coins can be retrieved from underneath. As a piece of banking and advertising history, this Wise Pig is not only a moneybox, but also a handsome and interesting ornament that adds an air of charm to any interior space.
