Buyer's Premium: 18%

A heavy-gauge metal industrial still bank of cylindrical form, featuring a dark grey textured crackle finish. The construction comprises a seamless body with a smoother machined top plate. A single coin slot is positioned at the head, adjacent to a small brass plate secured by two rivets. This brass tag is stamped with the characters N.C.B., likely referring to the National Coal Board? (NCB). The item lacks a traditional opening mechanism, suggesting a solid, sealed construction typical of industrial-style money boxes. The textured surface provides a tactile, hammered effect, while the top plate shows light linear machining marks.
Diameter: 6.5 cm.
