    Found this at a booty for 50p, probably half full of coins (that do not want to come out)

    He's gotta be too nice to smash for some coppers though I think

    1 came out and it was a 1970s 1/2p

    So do ya reckon about that age or earlier ?

    Any thoughts appreciated

    He's very thrifty! I'd never smash him!
    Yes, I think 1960s-1970s era.

    He is very cute though he looks like he might (or might not) have a chip on one eyeball. Are any of these areas incised marks when you have it in hand?
