Check out this wierd bank a friend of mine gave me. Is it a rip-off of Bert from Seseme Street?

It was made in 1971 by New York Vinyl Corp.

We call him "Frankenbert".

Notice, he still has the original pink sticker on him. That means he hasn't been played with.

What do you think of this wierd thing?

Reminds me of Griff, on a good hair day.

Well, Bert and Ernie debuted on Sesame Street's first season in 1969, so........?

That's definitely Bert. Maybe New York Vinyl Corp. had the license for the then still-young show and decided to "extend" the use of their molds.

Could be, but WHY GREEN????

Just when you though you were safe..... FRANKENBERT RETURNS!!!!!

You could poke a bunch of holes in his head and turn him into a salt shaker. But then you would have to find an Ernie for the pepper.

That's a LOT of pepper! This thing's 13.5 inches tall.
