Barrel bank 1950, plastic
This is a sort of register bank, but the dial is manual, and only goes up to £1 — that is 240 pennies (d not p, so over 1" diameter). The box is not mine, and mine has faded somewhat, but these are better pics.
There is no lock, just a plastic plug.
Super Safe moneybox opening
If combination unknown, apply pulling pressure and turn dial left (anti-clockwise) until door gives a little; then turn right (clockwise) until it opens.

MK Tresmer moneyboxes - just a few
The company has made over 200 designs, many in several colours, and some in several sizes, for public sale and as promotions for banks and building societies. Afaik all use the same key. However, later locks use a single plastic spring instead of a metal spring.
Here are just a few. Er ... most pics just too big.

tinplate cash box style moneybox
This has long been a popular design for moneyboxes, copying the real thing. Some old ones were actually made as miniatures of the real thing, complete with wire edges and gold coachlines etc. Most later ones were simplified. Sadly the real lock on the oldest one here is broken.
Sharps Toffees purveyed their toffees in several versions during my childhood — one shown here.
