Happy Saturday, Everyone! This week Nick brings us another envy-inducing piece from his amazing Disneyana collection. I love this particular item because it reminds me of the first time I ever rode the Magic Kingdom’s Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. I also love it because it’s perfect and super adorable. I want one! Enjoy….
Winnie the Pooh Bank – Flea Market Treasure
We got this great little ceramic Winnie the Pooh bank at the flea market in 2013.
We were drawn to it, like a bear to honey. (Get it? Bear to…moving on.)
Walt Disney Productions is marked on the bottom, which means it was produced before February of 1986.
The gentleman selling it was asking $5. While we really liked it, we felt $5 was high, because it’s missing its stopper and had some chips. I offered $3. As expected, he countered with $4. I was just turning Barbie to ask if she had any single dollar bills, when, to my surprise, the man said, “Okay, 3!” Maybe he assumed we were discussing the price, and were about to walk away? I don’t know, but what I do know is we got a great little bank without breaking the bank.
You can listen to Nick (and Dave and me) talking Disney on The Disney Exchange Podcast.
