Description
This silver-plated spring-loaded metal money box is probably about 1878, and belonged to my grandmother who was born in 1881.

What a treasure! I once had an old container that belonged to an aunt of mine, It came from the same time frame. Inside was a long spool that hel several colors of thread and a couple of needles over that was house a thimble and it was all encased in a octogonal metal case with similar scrolled leave work as the back of your coin box. Alas, it was lost when I got divorced. This was a pleasant reminder of my own little lost treasure.

What a treasure and such wonderful workmanship. Where the coins in it when you acquired it? I believe one coin has a portrait of Victoria herself.

Great capture. I like all the coins. BTW my grandmothers were born in 1882 and 1883, respectively!
