No..money please!
Just drop it in here......I found this wonderful vintage toy bank last week. A friend had it for sale in her space and I HAD to have it. It has a wonderful green paint with RED graphics. What is not to love!? I just had to have it and now it hangs out below my shelf of clocks and with Mr. Scotty. Some of my favorite things are vintage metal toys, globes and tops.
It is funny how those "have to have it" items make any budget go right out the window! Its like calories don't count on Saturdays. Love, Esther
ReplyDeleteIt is such a cutie and a great find. Smiles...

Hi Becky, the little tin bank is adorable! In a perfect setting now withthe little scottie, it was meant for your space :) Jenn and Jacqui
ReplyDeleteThat is a good find. Hope everytime someone walks by they drop money in it. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI understand completely why you had to have it. I had one of these in USPS red and blue when I was a child. Oh the things you should keep....

Hi sweetie,
ReplyDeleteJust dropping by to say hello and wish you a good week.
I absolutely love the music that greeted me when I went onto your blog...that Yo Yo Ma song is incredibly wonderful and haunting. Love it. And love you too!

I have a thing about metal toys as well. I have a metal Easter wagon with a bunny towing it in the front. It's one of my most precious collectibles. Still loving your site.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely find and an absolute must have.

Do you have real mailboxes like that in the US. Your toy looks just like the red ones on our streets. My children used to love being lifted up to pop in the letters.

How adorable! I just opened an eBay store this past week. I'm going to visit your eBay and add you to my favorites. Right after I add your blog link to mine. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi Becky, I am so pleased there are people like us in this world, otherwise these little treasures would be no more, instead of being given a new lease of life. If you start now, it will be full by the time next Christmas comes around! x
ReplyDeleteI love the mailbox bank...
ReplyDeleteI would have had to have it too!
Enjoy,
Priscilla
