Handcast pewter Tooth Fairies pot with see-saw top

Dimensions: 1.75" H x 1.5" W (tooth compartment 0.5H x 1.25W x 0.75D)
The tooth compartment can also hold the old six pence pieces, as payment.
During the early 1600's it was customary for the Lord of the Manor to give
his bride a piece of silver as a wedding gift. ... It later became a
tradition to include a sixpence in the dowry that was given by the bride's
family to the groom.
That tradition of the sixpence as a symbol of good luck continues today.
