    Description

    One of the more adorable mascots of all time, the Florida Orange Bird was created by Disney as a mascot for the Florida Citrus Commission, who sponsored The Enchanted Tiki Room and Sunshine Tree Terrace at Walt Disney's Florida Magic Kingdom theme park.  This fellow stands about 5-1/4" high and is in remarkably good shape for being 50 years old or thereabouts.
    I have seen other banks with plastic stoppers and this one has a metal plug in the bottom.  Also, "Walt Disney Productions" is part of the mold and is incised, not in relief, not stamped in ink.  I haven't seen one with a metal plug in my search yet, but the plug is definitely made for it as it fits perfectly.
    Rest assured, I always pack with care to assure the safe arrival of your treasures.  Please check my feedback and my longevity selling through eBay and bid with confidence.  Thanks for looking and good luck.
