Measuring 5 1/2 inches high x approximately 4 inches wide, this utterly adorable, 1950’s, coin bank entitled, “BONGO – A Nut from the CONGO”, is fashioned from an actual coconut! His face has been hand-painted, he wears a SINGLE brown, pipe cleaner fashioned hoop earring on his left ear (unfortunately, the right hoop earring has been lost since the photo was taken- price thus has been reduced from $58.00 to $38.00), he has a small tuft of brown yarn hair atop his head, and he also wears a wooden “bone” through his painted-on nose! BONGO appears to have never been unused and is in near mint condition - the only imperfections noted are a few minor and superficial facial paint rubs - and his recently-missing right earring. His wooden platform base bears manufacturer information as well as bank opening instructions (see last photo for details)! A darling addition to one’s Black memorabilia collection priced to sell! |
