Interesting older molded Mr. Peanut bank. Maybe '70s or a little older? I'm not really sure about the age. It's exactly 8 1/4" tall. Hope you all enjoy!

Thank you Kerry! And thank you aghcollect and Roy!
Thanks valentino, I appreciate that. I always appreciate more info!
My guess is late 60's into the 70's, but again just a guess
Thanks again Kerry, that seems pretty likely.
Thanks Sean!
aycockonxion, you are correct about the '70's. here is a yellow one with alarm clock & wristwatch.

My brother had one just like this, except it was green. Definitely early 70s.
Thank you to blunderbuss, AzTom, DrFluffy for the loves!
Thank you to Manikin, pw-collector, and bratjdd for the loves!
Thanks to tom61375 and RAD21289 for the loves!
I wouldn't be surprised, that would make sense. The money just for S&H probably?
And thanks to gargoylecollector, Trey, and geo26e for the love!
Loved my Mr. Peanut. I had this one in blue and it would have been late 50s or early 60s. My husband's was red, but then he wasn't my husband then. ;) But it did make it to our house 10 years later. :) Nice find.
Thank you for the love and the nice comment Parkerhouse!!
You are very welcome aycockonxion. =)
Thank you lisa!
Thanks for the love officialfuel! Much appreciated.
Mr. Peanut looks adorable!
I sent in the wrappers and I think thirty cents in 1958. I also had a tan (peanut color) drinking cup. The bag of peanuts cost five cents so getting something for the wrappers was a big deal. Five cents was big money to a kid back then. Although you could still buy penny candy and gas was eighteen cents a gallon.
