Scrappy Mintz, Financier

Just a quick note to say that I’m still collecting Scrappy stuff and hope to have an update to Scrappyland up in our lifetime. Meanwhile, here’s a quick Scrappy fix–an image from the side of the box that contained the Scrappy savings bank (circa 1935), depicting Scrappy lecturing Margy on the state of her finances while Oopy and Yippy gawk.

And here are the other sides of the box.

Here’s a snappy Thrift Club card that came with the bank (was it really owned by someone named “Chinky Sing?”).

And here, finally, is the leatherette-bound bank itself.
