Tenyo Non-Magic Items
Please post here Tenyo Non-Magic items that you have or would like to have. Items would be Clocks, Banks, Novelties, Puzzles, etc.
Tenyo Smoking Gnomes
These little fellows are so cute. I never knew there was more than one design. I bid on the Tenyo Smoking Gnome before but have lost. They usually go for at least $50 each. They come in a small Tenyo box with the smoking rabbit logo. You put a little cigarette in the gnome's pipe and light it and then he puffs away in delight.
There is another set of three on auction now on ebay.

Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items
This is an interesting bank I picked up. There are four plastic plates with slots in them. To get a coin in the bank the slots must line up. Your spectators will try to line up the plates by tilting the bank but will end up just like the fella on the bottom of the package.
There is a logical way to get the coins in the bank but you'll have to figure it out yourself.
This bank does not appear to be that old but for some reason I don't see it around too much.
(Sorry the pictures aren't that great)

Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items
Roberto, is this the original one from Tenyo or knock off version ?
I have one too but I think it was a knock off.

Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items
Are those money banks still available? I have the star wars darth vader/ yoda one that I've had from when I was wee, think I got it at Pizza Hut or KFC.
Now you see me...
Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items
Tenyo still sells the Micro Bank, Spin Bank, and Art Banks. They are pretty easy to find.
By the way my favorite Art Bank is the one with Mickey Mouse flying on a bird. The bird flaps its wing(s) when you put a coin in

This is a novelty paperweight by Tenyo.
I think the joke about the washer is very clever.

Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items
The main Tenyo website could be a good source for Tenyo Non Magic Items. Unfortunately the website is in japan language only.

it lead us also to some unique toys, puzzles, etc

Here is a link to a French Tenyo Tribute Site (not Stereo's) that shows a nice assortment of the banks.Elliot W. wrote:Tenyo still sells the Micro Bank, Spin Bank, and Art Banks. They are pretty easy to find.

Here is the French Translation of the text next to the bank where Mickey is flying on a bird.
Just like Elliot said.ART BANK (large)

Two animated versions (a satellite that rotates and Mickey on the back of a goose which flaps its wings).
Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items
Yep. it's really cute.
I've never seen the satellite one though. Got to keep an eye out for that one.

Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items
These smoking dolls remind me of Paulus de Boskabouter. Probably only my Belgian fellow members will know him.

Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items
Status Update:
I've got 3 of these little ZZ Top looking Gnomes on their way here now.
Had to have them they are smoking hot.
Wonder how much Tenyo had to pay them to use their likeness.

Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items
I like your Shocking Hand Greeter, Victor. It's the first time I've ever seen one. Thank you for posting it here.
Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items
It`s not mine Bob, I just found some pics from other collector and I think it would be great to share it here.BobD wrote:I like your Shocking Hand Greeter, Victor. It's the first time I've ever seen one. Thank you for posting it here.
Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items
these things were used as an anti-masturbatory aid in the late 19th century, kind of like a hand-held chastity belt

Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items
I would love to have one of the three dolls in this new lot. Anyone else interested? Perhaps someone can buy all three, and distribute them afterwards
