History or meaning

Mechanical money boxes were popular as toys and advertising objects around the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many designs from that period are highly caricatural and reflect the spirit of the times. Today, such items are primarily collected as historical curiosities, where both the mechanism and the social context play a role.
