This box figurine is the first tooth fairy box produced by HK. The strange little goblin perches on an inscribed coin reading “Every good child deserves favour.” Within the box is a tiny tooth with the message “new teeth for old.” An early version has the acorn perched over the interior message. “Bon Chance” has had a variety of colour combinations that have not been recorded except for the first 225 that were green and red without golden wings. Inspiration for this piece came from Richard Dadd, a late 19th century English painter in the fantasy tradition. Hallmarks include ©, diamond, mirror image clock face with month 7, HBC logo, and DL.
