1969 Yellow Pride Creations Mouse Money Box Bank

Jon Nix — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 13:56:28 +0000

A charming money bank/money box made by Pride Creations in the late 1960s. The yellow mouse with relief details is handpainted in black, white, pink and red, and appears to be of chalk construction. Probably best now used as an ornament, the money bank does, however, come with its original stopper and therefore could continue in its original role.

This one does have a few signs of age and wear, most noticeably some nibbles to its left ear, a chip to the base, and some cracks/crazing to the paintwork. However, it feels sturdy and solid in the hand, and these signs of use add to its vintage character. It doesn't feel like they are going to deteroriate further.

The bank measures approximately 13cm (5 in.) in height, is approximately 11.5cm (4½ in.) long, and is 9cm (3½ in.) at its widest.

Signed Arthur Wood Dog Money Box with Handpainted Flower Design

Put some money aside and put a smile on your (or someone else's) face courtesy of this Arthur Wood handpainted ceramic dog money box which dates from the 1960s or 1970s. Finished with an orange and brown floral design on a white ground this little canine comes complete with happy eyes, seemingly wet nose, a warm smile, and original sticker still adhered to his tail. Rather unusually, this one features blue eyes - others we have seen have rather plain looking painted eyes.

In very good condition with only very minor signs of wear and age (the odd graze to the finish), the money box has its original "bung" and is signed to the base. The dog is approximately 18cm (7 in.) long.

Queen Elizabeth’s Silver Jubilee Post Office Box Money Box (1977)

Jon Nix — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 14:27:41 +0000

A 1977 Queen's Silver Jubilee money box made of tin, branded with "Post Office Savings Post", and shaped like a letter box. These seem to have been sold via toy retailers at the time and is possibly made by "D.B.S."

This one is in pretty good condition - some minor wear to the top and slight deformation in shape but nothing major. As is common with these, it seems, the "top" appears to be a slightly different colour and finish from the body. The box measures 12cm (4¾ in.) high with a diameter of 6.5cm (2½ in.)

Yorkshire Penny Bank Money Box (with key and container)

Jon Nix — Sat, 28 Oct 2017 13:32:21 +0000

Patented in 1921 (the PAT no. 167841 is imprinted on the inner base), this Yorkshire Penny Bank money box has six individual slots for various pre-decimal coin types (Half Crown, Shilling, Six Pence, 6D & Half Sovereign, Penny and Half Penny) and a slot for notes. It is very heavily constructed and chrome plated, and is an unusual and interesting item in very good condition: no dents or dings or signs of forced access just some minor surface scratches. This is a good example of this item and dates from the period after 1947 (the coin slots refer to denominations introduced in that year) and before 1959, when the Yorkshire Penny Bank became the current Yorkshire Bank.

Originally, the Bank kept the saver's key, but we have complemented ours with a replica so that full access to the box contents is possible should you wish to use it. We also offer ours complete with the original container which is in fair condition considering its age (please see photos).

Measures 6cm (2¼in) high with a diameter of 8.5cm (3¼in).

Tin “Save in Time” money box bucket

Jon Nix — Wed, 25 Oct 2017 08:58:10 +0000

We can't find out too much about this quirky little money box in the shape of a bucket, so we'll just go with what we do know. It's made in Germany (it has the "DGRM" mark underneath and most likely dates from the 1920s) for the foreign market (we suspect for the US) and it is constructed from thin tin. The slogan on the front is "Save In Time", and it has a coin slot in the lid and a hatch on the bottom which is not lockable but provides access to the money stored inside. The box is about 7cm tall and the diameter of the top is 9cm. It is slightly misshapen and has a few dents and the underneath is somewhat rusty but we think that only adds to its quirky desirability.

Please note, we do not have a key for the lock so this won't work for you if you need a fully-secure money box. But if you need that, this is probably not going to be your first option anyway!
