A St. George Building Society Dragon 1980's Issue Green Plastic Coin Money Box.

The St George Happy Dragon money box in green in good condition. This is a later issue re-usable model which would have a bottom bung which is missing. Condition is good with some dust from years on display, a gentle clean needed. The plastic is pushed in above the nostrils. Please review the photos carefully.

The mould for this issue is different with no scales on the arms or torso. The torso is lined rather than scaled. The embossed logo is the Dragon symbol wih st.george in all lower case. Otherwise very similar to the other later issues.

The ‘Happy Dragon' campaign was used throughout the 1980's and 1990's. There are two versions of the Dragon character that I am currently aware of. This one has his arms akimbo and a rather stern look with the chin tucked-in. This style is a later issue with the St George brand moulded into the base plate. The earlier issue some had stick-on labels for St George at the base and ‘eyes' over the plastic eyes. My best guess is the ones without the stickers were a cost-saving version. There is then a later style with the head more upright and the left hand raised as if to say Hi, I am a happier looking dragon?
