old still bank

[chubbbramah]

I see the problem: pics of this moneybox are 2 -2½Mb so too big to upload. Not sure I can quickly make them smaller. I'll try some other boxes.

I'll be happy to resize them for you, I'll PM you my email.

Here are some more modern ones.

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.

Hobby catalogues sold blanks by mail order for home finishing by painting, pyrography, or what have you. Some included a simple lock, in this case stapled on. The pear dates from the 1980's; the other might be 1930's.

This is a toy version of the electronic home safe; like the real thing it can be bounced open — just remember the solenoid moves horizontally not vertically; but that can be seen through the translucent box. The dial is sham; only the number pad functions.
Don't know why some pics have turned on sides.

Here are 3 pictures chubbbramah sent me. It's a very nice safe!

Cheers :)

The clear red one with the keypad needs to be at least a Euro grade 6 if it stores Chupa Chups lollies, ten years ago our kids would've opened a Tann Treasury to get at those!
