Two vintage money banks comprising a Chad Valley book form example, Treasure Island and a cast iron 'Jolly Bank'. [2]Note: Mechanical cast iron banks were first manufactured in the late 1800's during the industrial revolution. The 'Jolly Banks' or money boxes were a popular item during this period and are also associated with Black Memorabilia.

We understand the potential controversy surrounding this type of item but believe that providing transparent information about historical context fosters greater understanding of our complex cultural history.Condition Report: The Jolly Bank is an original example
