This money box was originally used as a charitable collection box, reflecting an era when fundraising tins and donation boxes were commonly found in homes, shops and community spaces throughout Britain. Crafted from lightweight papier mâché and hand painted, it provides vintage charm and is a great addition to any collection.
The box is in the shape of a house, with double fronted bay windows and printed detailing associated with Dr Barnardo Homes, one of Britain’s most recognised children’s charities. Its simple yet distinctive design captures the spirit of post-war charitable fundraising and community support.
The piece gives plenty of character and displays beautifully as part of a collection of advertising, charity or vintage boxes. A great item to add charm and decorative appeal to any space, cabinet or sideboard.
