A Collection of Vintage British Post Office Theme Still Banks and Money Boxes

An assortment of vintage still banks primarily relating to the British Post Office and savings institutions. The group includes a cylindrical tinplate pillar box bank with printed graphics in red, yellow, and black, featuring the GR royal cypher and a collection timetable. Also included is an oval tinplate letter box bank with the GR royal cypher and labels for letters and newspapers. A book-form Post Office Savings Bank is present, finished in a red textured material with a gold-embossed Royal Coat of Arms and GR cypher above a metal coin slot. The collection further contains an illustrated tinplate bank in book form depicting a figure in seventeenth-century style dress on a coastal landscape, a small red cylindrical tin with a medallion portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, and two glazed earthenware banks comprising a cottage and a seated figure, both finished in a monochromatic brown glaze. The items are constructed from tinplate and ceramic materials.
