Toys



Two tin banks
Made in Germany, the one on the left is from 1910, and the one on the right is from 1914.
They are only a little more than 5 inches tall, so they wouldn't have held much change.
 
 




Is this what is known as a 'penny toy'?
The base is tin. The drawers pull out. The machine is very heavy, possibly lead? The head folds into the machine and then the leaf folds. When the hand wheel is turned the needle actually goes up and down.
