Product Description:
This rectangular metal money box, produced by the English brand Chad Valley around 1920, is a classic example of vintage design from the 1920s. The box features a traditional lithographed finish, where ink is applied to the metal surface to create a detailed, colorful print. The design blends gold and red tones, giving the item a nostalgic, vintage appeal.
The Chad Valley M.206 model is equipped with a hinged lid and a convenient carry handle, making it practical for use at the time. With dimensions of 14.5 cm in length, 9.7 cm in width, and 5.5 cm in height, the box offers ample space to store small coins or savings. While the lock hole on the front is missing its original key, this missing component does not detract from the charm of the piece. This type of money box was commonly referred to as a "penny bank."
The money box is a collectible item for enthusiasts of vintage and antique pieces and would make a valuable addition to any collection.
