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.

Space-themed money boxes
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.
