This is a panda-shaped soft vinyl coin bank made by Patra in Japan around the 1950s and 60s. Z goods and toys made in Japan before the period of rapid economic growth were treated as daily necessities at the time, so they were often consumed and discarded, making this a genre where the number of existing items is steadily decreasing year by year. Among these, this item is a rare example that meets the conditions of a panda motif, manufacturer's stamp, and a gimmick, and the opportunity to see it on the market is becoming increasingly rare. Especially small soft vinyl coin banks are prone to hardening and damage over time, and those with the mechanism still working in a complete state are rare. This item has a structure where the internal whistle (squeaker) sounds when you press its belly with the coin slot on the back closed, and the operation has been confirmed. It retains the charm of being not just an ornament or a coin bank, but a **"practical item with a playful spirit" typical of the Showa era**. The back is marked with: "PATRA" stamp "IM.PAT (Design Registration)" indicating that it has a different background from unbranded mass-produced items. These stamped items from the time are elements that are easily appreciated by collectors both domestically and internationally. 【Size】 Height: approx. 9.5cm Width: approx. 6cm Depth: approx. 6cm 【Condition】 There are scratches, stains, and paint wear due to aging, but there are no cracks or major defects. It is in standard to good condition for a Showa-era item. *Please consider this item with an understanding of the characteristics of vintage items. It is unlikely that items with the same conditions, size, and specifications will be consistently available on the market in the future, making this a one-of-a-kind item "for those who want to secure it while it's available." For overseas buyers: This is an original Japanese vintage panda coin bank made by PATRA in the 1950s–60s. Soft vinyl with a working squeaker mechanism. Authentic Showa-era collectible with decreasing availability worldwide.
