I couldn't decide whether to put this under advertising or still banks
It's in perfect shape. I've never heard of this brand of tea. Anyone familiar with these?

Ringtons Tea
Tea company
Ringtons is a tea manufacturing business based in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England. It was founded in 1907 by Samuel Smith and delivered tea across the nation through a door to door service which still continues today. Wikipedia

I think that's the same Wade Ceramics that makes the little figures in Red Rose tea.
This brings back a memory of a guy from England I was stationed with in Germany back about 45 years ago. He had two or three little banks he put different coins in each bank but he called them a money box as opposed to a bank.
Wade Ceramics was established in 1867. It was originally made up of a number of different companies founded by various members of the Wade family, and was only finally united as Wade Potteries Limited in 1958.
Following the death of Sir George Wade in 1986 at the age of 94 years and the death of his innovative son George Anthony (Tony) Wade of Leukaemia in 1987, the Wade potteries were taken over by Beauford Plc in 1998 and were renamed Wade Ceramics Ltd......Wikipedia....:-)
AzTom - I had 100's of those little Wade figurines....
Oh, I really love this one!!
