===============================
Journaling:
This little piggy bank belonged to Grandma B. Grandma was born in 1902 so it is over 100 years old. I have had it in my curio cabinet for at least 40 years and I treasure it so much.
Grandma had it as a little girl and her older brother’s - Harry and Christopher, always threatened her they were going to break open her piggy bank with a hammer to take her pennies. She would scream and grabbing her piggy bank, would run away from them!
As you can see there is no plug on the bank to get the change out. You either have to shake it forever until the change falls out of the slot on top or you can take a kitchen table knife, slip it in the slot, turn over the bank and the change will all fall out.
The ceramic piggy bank is noted on the bottom as being from Austria. I do know that Grandma’s family immigrated from Germany. It is so cute with the wire that goes through it’s eyes and circles the nose. It is a two tone ceramic... brown on top and ecru on the bottom and that little tail noted on the back and those sweet ears.
I get such a smile on my face when I look at the piggy bank, and can still remember Grandma and Mom telling me the story of Grandma’s brothers!
