📋 Detailed product description
 

  • Manufacturer: Brabantia Home Steel
  • Production date: 1950s/1960s

This rectangular savings tin from Brabantia was produced sometime between 1950 and 1960 and reflects the practical, rebuild-era design sensibility of postwar Dutch households. Finished in a warm cream white, the hinged lid is punched with seven savings slots, each labeled for a specific household budget category: Kleding (Clothing), Gas-Licht (Gas & Light), Brandstof (Fuel), Huishoud-art. (Household articles), Verzekering (Insurance), Vakantie (Holiday), and Diversen (Miscellaneous).

Inside, six metal partitions separate the compartments beneath the slots, helping keep household funds organized. A nice plus: this example still retains its original working key, allowing you to lock the contents securely.
