    these has been a gift for children when they've opened a savings book from 1972 onwards...
    it's a design by by bernd diefenbach and has been made for several banks over the time
    some of them are rare
    the form has been made by hoechst in porcelain in different decors as well
    and i've seen it in sterling silver which is realy rare to find because they have never been produced to be sold to bank customers
    just as a jubilee gift for bank employees after 25years

      Just came across this post that clarifies about the history of this bank (it was actually designed by Bernd Diefenbach in 1972 for Dresdner Bank in Germany): http://www.vintagewiki.com/#!ELEPHANT-MONEY-BOX/cmbz/F551A8B3-234C-4425-81BF-2F826F84DEDE
