    Check the screw head at the back of the bank.
    Hundreds of thousands of those were brought over in containers from Vietnam late 80's
    They were coated with natural yogurt and left outside for a month to age them.

    never thought twas an original by the way (just doesn't seem right for that, and charity price) but still cool looking

    not sure how far they go back to be honest, probably nor even saleable either

    I grew up in Fl in the 60s and quite a few of the ladies in the neighborhood had Mammy cookie jars etc. Usually stuff they got from their mothers. One sweet old lady gave me a childrens book called "Little Black Sambo" . My mother took one look at it and chunked it in the trash ! I was like 6 or so and very upset because I loved the colors of the illustrations. As we speak I have a tiny 800 silver spoon with a golliwog character on top that I cant bring myself to throw away . Or pass on.

    Love the Charlie-Doodle,Noritake,and the Bracelet (get it tested Mate-ya never know,I'm livin proof !).
    Of the bunch,if stuck on a desert island-it's Charlie-Doodle paws down !
    PS-Looking svelte w/ them fresh-plucked wrists, it'll also help if you wanna break an Olympic Swimming record-but you have to do the other 98% of your body before you dive in.
