Description
This silverplated money box takes the shape of a front loading digger, its bucket lowered and ready to scoop and its cab set high at the back. The body is metal alloy with a real silverplated finish that catches the light, and the detail is generous: a criss-cross textured grille, a tall exhaust stack, the jointed arms that carry the bucket and chunky black tyres on bright silver hubs. Smooth panels on the cab sit against the textured sections, so it reads clearly as a working machine from every side. A slot in the back of the cab takes coins. It measures 9cm high, 13.5cm wide and 8cm deep, a size that sits neatly on a shelf without crowding it.
We see it first and foremost as a christening gift, a keepsake for a little one in their first three years. It gives a new saving habit a cheerful home, and the digger shape brings a touch of fun to a baby's room without losing the polish of real silverplate. Set it on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers or a bookcase, where the silver brightens a quiet corner. It is a piece to be admired and slowly filled with coins rather than played with, so place it somewhere grown-up hands can reach.
Under the shine it is metal alloy, finished in real silverplate, with smooth and textured surfaces worked together across the body. Silverplate keeps its brightness best with a little care: dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe away fingerprints gently, avoiding anything abrasive, and keep it in a dry spot. For a christening present, slip a few coins through the slot before wrapping as a first deposit, and add a card with the date so the family remembers who gave it.
