Made in Finland","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a very rare vintage TSB Tivvy Bank in the form of a little Santa Claus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn excellent condition and comes with its original key (replacement keys can cost up to £16!).  The original key is often lost - so great to still have its key - as photographed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt dates to the late 1960s or very early 1970s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis bank was presented to young customers at the Trustees Savings Bank to encourage them to save. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis bank is a particularly rare one - as they usually take the form of cartoon crows dressed as footballers. This bank though might have been a special one handed out at Christmas - and he seems to be dressed up as Santa Claus with a red and white tunic, Santa hat - and long Santa beard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have only ever seen this one - and he is certainly in such excellent vintage condition being now over 40 years old. He is exceptionally rare... a bank for the specialist collector - and this is reflected in my asking price. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe banks, or so it seems, were made not in Scotland - but in Finland and annotated as a TIVVY FAUNI GONK BANK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 6 inches in height and 5 inches from the front to back - he is 3 1\/2 inches wide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tag tag-left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tag-body\"\u003eMeasures 6\" tall x 5\" front to back x 3.5\" wide.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tag-body\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tag-body\"\u003eHe will be posted in the UK with Royal Mail Recorded Post.
