In 2003 I began work on a research project that has taken me to places that I never imagined: the cultural heritage of space exploration. Now I am determined to bring to light the secrets at the heart of the Space Age.
This charming photo of vintage Commercial Bank of Australia moneyboxes was sent to me by Stephen Muller. It's a little blurry but I still think they're awesome.
I had the astronaut moneybox (sadly long since chewed to bits by a pet dog) but I don't recall seeing the rocket one before. The astronaut was Apollo vintage from memory-any idea about the date of the other one?

ReplyDeleteSorry, no idea!
ReplyDeleteI have just found a yellow one of these spacemen, identical but yellow. The sticker on the base indicates 1967 with information about the moon.
