This Kay-Tee chalkware piggy bank was manufactured by the Silvestri Bros. Co..  The Silvestri Family has been in the statuary business for six generations.  Arcangelo Silvestri and his two brothers settled in San Francisco in 1900.They began manufacturing ornamental moulding and figurines out of plaster of Paris, which they peddled door to door.  Their business prospered until the Great Depression when they returned to Italy.  In 1956,  Arcangelo's son and grandson, Adorno and Alfeo silvestri, immigrated to the US, settled in San Francisco and founded A. Silvestri Company Fine Statuary.

This piggy bank is grey with black features and gold Kay-Tee lettering.  It is in good condition but does have a small chip on one ear. It is marked Silvestri Bros. Co. 1962 on the back below the tail.  The measurements are: 9 1/4 inches front to back,  7 1/2 inches wide, and 7 inches tall.
