Original Vintage Leonard Silver Plate Rocking Horse Coin Bank
" it really rocks "
Maker & Provenance Details
The Manufacturer: The base plate clearly bears the cursive engraving for Leonard, a prominent name in mid-to-late 20th-century silver-plated holloware and giftware. The original twist-lock coin stopper is fully intact and explicitly stamped "Silverplated" and "Hong Kong".
The Retailer: The paper label identifies it as having passed through Manse Hill Silver, a specialty silver and trophy company once located at 14 Palestine Road in Newtown, Connecticut.
Physical Specifications
Approx measurements of the bank are: Length: 5.5 inches along the bottom edge of the rocker. Height: 4.5 inches from the lowest point of the rocker to the tip of the horse’s mane. Width: 2.25 inches at its widest frontal flare across the base
Condition is Excellent. Made in Hong Kong in the 1970s, the bank displays an authentic, aged silver patina with darker oxidation gathering beautifully in the recessed areas of the stippled "orange peel" background, the floral motifs, and the saddle texture. It also retains its original, highly legible bottom stopper and distinct historical Manse Hill Silver retail labeling.
