Red "Demon" Squirrel Bank

This is one of the many strange little things I have in my collection. I clean real estate and my mother owns a thrift store, so I find all kinds of wonderful things. This one kind of freaked her out. Haha. I asked her if I could have it, and she said "Really? That thing is ugly."
I was told that it may possibly be a Chalk bank, but hours and hours, days and days these little fingers slapped around the slaves on my keyboard and to no avail.
I figure one day someone will be able to tell me about it. It was found with other banks as well; A shoe "house", like the little ole' lady who lived in a shoe kind. A carriage wagon kind of thing. An owl, and finally, a bear that seemed to of walked out of the 70's as it had flowers and once again, these strange "Demon" Eyes.
I think the colors go nicely together. Those eyes though, is why I call it "Demon" squirrel. I absolutely adore this thing.
