What a cute addition to your sewing room and a way save for your sewing expenses.
|
Who knows, you might want to take it to the Antiques Roadshow, it might be worth more than you think, since most of us have never seen one.

Neat little bank! Have not seen one before. Great quilt also. Do keep us posted as to the contents of the bank! ;)
|
What a cool bank,,, you should be able to save enough, but I would make sure I could get it open first LOL
|
That is great!!
Have never seen a Singer bank before. Maybe there are some old coins in it. J J |

I've already mangled a couple of paper clips trying to open it, so I think I'll take it to our local jeweler on Tuesday and see if he can do it. I remember him telling me one time that opening jewelry boxes was a fairly common request, so I have hopes, since this is probably a similar sort of lock. Mostly I just want to see what's in there (that I can hear rattling) and see if I can get an idea on dates based on the coin dates.
Think this will be big enough for a nice stash? |
Have you googled the bank to try to find a date? The quilt looks old.

Sweet bank have fun finding out what is in it! Luann
|
OK... now we all want to know what's inside. Please keep us posted.
|
The bak is awesome!! Make sure you update so we know what you got out of it!!!
