Another of those papier mache banks I purchased on eBay many years ago. Toe to heel, it is about 6″ long. For some reason, as soon as I pulled this one back out after being boxed up for years, I thought “Allee!” :) I don’t get the egg and foliage though.
The sticker on the heel says Savings Bank. The butterfly sticker on the bottom says Enesco / Made in Taiwan / Republic of China.
I have two other banks with Enesco stickers and all three are different. I imagine this might help date them, but I haven’t been able to find much info in that respect.

The egg and foliage stuffed into the shoe is SO nutty! No idea what that could possibly mean?! Soooo kitschy.
Red sneakers were always my favorites.
