Your very own, portable, SAVING BOX.
With its own unique code, printed on a little tag attached to the handle(EAT after memorising)
The code is put into the 2 dials on the front  by turning them and then you pull the little handle across and KERCHING, the lid springs open and you can access all those coins that you have assiduously posted through the slot on the top.
Also, obviously, very useful to encourage children to save and be patient (Good Luck with that). But don't give to small children, the tin edges are sharp, would not even get a look in with Health and Safety standards today.
It was made for export in China in the post-war period, sometime between 1955 and 1965.
On the cardboard box and on the top of the tin saving box is printed "MM 73 8" then Chinese symbols which translate to "Made in China", and then "Made in China" in English.
They measure 14 cm by 10 cm by 8 cm, have a handle on top , so you can take it with you wherever you go,  and they have their original cardboard picture inside of a delighted little girl, with her saving box, and a butterfly.
They come in their original boxes which are sometimes a little bashed from years of storage in the old warehouse where I found them.
