THIS BANK IS FROM THE EARLY 1980's THIS WAS A LINE OF PRODUCTS BY MICHEL & COMPANY AND THEY WERE MADE IN JAPAN. THIS BANK HAS SWEET PEA (name of little girl) AND MUFFIN (name of dog) SITTING ON THE TOP. THE SENTIMENT ALONG THE BOTTOM READS, "ah let's be best friends always and always!" ON THE BACK, IS A VERY SHORT STORY ABOUT SWEET PEA AND MUFFIN. THE ITEM IS 6 INCHES TALL AND HAS ITS STOPPER ON THE BOTTOM. THERE ARE NO CRACKS, BUT A VERY SMALL CHIP ON THE DOG'S BONE
