c1007:  I don't honestly know the type of metal this is made from, so I put tin.  The outside looks like brass and the inside is a different shade.  This must be from a time when coins could pay your bills and provide for some savings and gifts.  Must have been a very long time ago.  It is 6 1/4" across and 2 1/2" tall and has a little slot for a little key right between the savings and the rent and was made in England. (No key and the pedestal isn't included). Thanks for looking at our listing and please take a peek in our store while you are here.
