Made of heavy cast aluminum and hand painted, this sturdy, finely detailed still bank depicts an oversized Santa Claus standing next to one of his reindeer. Santa is brightly painted in red and white, with an orange lit lantern, and realistic flesh tones; while the reindeer is brown with bone colored antlers. Santa is waving, while leaning against his reindeer. Coins are deposited in the slot provided directly behind Santa on top of the reindeer's back. Coins are removed by undoing the bank and turning the slotted screw on the side of the deer (although I don't recommend it because the screw has never been turned since it has never been used). This American made toy savings bank was made in the 1980s by the Reynolds Toy Company of Falls Church, Virginia. They specialized in the manufacture of well made cast metal penny banks. You will not see them all over the place as only a limited number of examples were produced (less than 100----this is number "22" stamped on the hindquarter of the deer. The number "86" on the back of Santa probably references the total number made; so, this is number 22 of 86 manufactured in the 1980s (see image). The bank is in mint condition.
