WW1 Money Bank

[Ray Griffiths]

Hi Folks has anybody got have one of these cast iron money tanks

It was my Grandfathers I was lead to believe by my Dad that my Grandfather either made it or had it made.

My grandfather in 1911 worked at Eagle Tange Gas Company as a Fettler which I assume it was a foundry in Aston.

Would like to find out more about this tank.

To empty it you remove a centre bolt which holds the both sides plates and release a centre piece if bent steel plate
