Vintage ceramic Snoopy coin bank featuring the iconic Peanuts character in his early classic design, prior to later modern stylization.
This version reflects Snoopy’s original look with simpler lines and proportions that collectors appreciate.
Officially licensed by United Feature Syndicate and made in Italy by Quadrifoglio (Florence), this is a higher-quality European production piece compared to many later banks.
Designed as a functional bank, it features a coin slot on the back of the head and a removable base opening with plastic insert for coin retrieval.
Measures approximately 8.25 inches tall, making it a nice mid-size display piece that works well on shelves or desks. A great addition for Peanuts collectors, Snoopy enthusiasts, or vintage character bank collections.
