A1 Dougal Money Box I know this is a real one and it did not come from ebay. It's based on 'Dougal' from The Magic Roundabout. They vary in shape a lot as several people made them over time and they all had different styles. I am assuming they were made for some time towards the end of the 70's and 80's. They are very common. To get the money out you don't need to do any damage, just insert a normal blunt knife and shake the money box and move the knife gently whilst holding the money box upside down. The coins will just fall out. Height 75mm - Length 95mm

Notes & comments: From Wikipedia: The Magic Roundabout, "Some five hundred five-minute-long episodes were made and were originally broadcast between 1964 and 1971.... The main character was Pollux (Dougal in the English language version) who was a drop-eared variety of the Skye Terrier. In the French version Pollux was an English character who spoke somewhat broken French with an outrageous English accent, as a result of Ivor Wood's role as co-creator. His sweet tooth, shown through his fondness for sugar lumps, was based on a French belief that one of the traits of the English is a liking for sweets."
