INTRODUCING OINKY: THE RECESSION-PROOF PIG

Beautifully hand-painted in Pepto Bismol pink by refugees in Sudan, Oinky, the recession proof pig, is guaranteed to please even the fussiest collector. Oinky rests on four meticulously crafted feet. This delightful pig will entertain you for hours with his two whimsical ears, two of the sweetest black ebony eyes made from brilliantly colored faux pearls, and a quarter receptacle snout (coins not included).

Show the world you care deeply about the recession. This limited-time only collectible is delicately wrapped in a fine solid silver-plated macaroni chain of oversized links. Each link represents a repressed culture. This world class lovable piggy replica features a porcelain body, glowing with personality and charm.

Oinky is the creation of Thurston Howell, reknown master of bacon-inspired art. It’s an exquisite showpiece fit for a queen or king, a center piece, admired by all who enter your mobile home.

Imagine the joy on your children’s faces as they discover that once they drop a quarter into Oinky’s snout, it’s inside your collectible’s belly forever. How amazing is this? Money goes in and none comes out.
