Vintage Iron Strong Piggy Bank Portuguese Old Bank Montepio Geral Money Safe & Key
Good condition and functional, it opens and closes with the key, however I believe the key is not original because the key would never be provided to the user of the piggy bank and would remain at the banking institution so that the savings would not be violated.
On the front plate it is written: The first public piggy bank in the country Founded in 1844
Charming vintage piggy bank from Portugal's Montepio Geral. Made of sturdy iron, this bank is a beautiful decorative piece. It is an original item and a wonderful addition to any collection of still banks or other collectibles.
