Chad Valley Hickory Dickory Dock Money Box Clock

A very colourful and rather charming metal money box made by Chad Valley and depicting the nursery rhyme "Hickory Dickory Dock" with a clock face (non-functioning) serving as the opening for the box and for helping children with learning the time.

The box measures 9cm x 9cm x 6cm and is in very good condition, bar a small scratch to the side (pictured).

Perfect for the collector of nursery rhyme-related items or just as a very nice decorative piece, this Pall Mall Ware dish / bowl for a child features images from "Ride A Cock Horse to Banbury Cross". The bowl is weighted quite heavily and is in very good condition, with only minor imperfections and slight signs of wear. The maker's mark is clear and visible on the base.

The bowl measures 16.5cm (6½ in) in diameter and 3,5cm (1½ in) in height.

Chad Valley Sing a Song of Sixpence Humming Top

This tin Humming Top toy was made in England in the 1960s and is a great piece of childhood memorabilia. Made by Chad Valley (and by appointment to HM The Queen Mother), it has retained its bright, vibrant colours and has a working mechanism to make it spin and hum when spun at high speed (!). There are dents and scratches on the painted surface as a result of many years of "loving" use, but nothing that detracts from the colours and fun display of the rhyme, "Sing a song of Sixpence".

We think it would be a very nice addition to a vintage toy collection, or simply as a nostalgic item for display - or, actually, something for the current generation of children to enjoy all over again!
