This intriguing and unique artifact is a Suffragette Militant Money Box from the year 1913. The money box takes the form of a papier mache red pillar box, complete with a removable base. The interactive feature of this collectible is truly captivating: when a penny is posted in the letter box, the top opens to reveal a figurine of a militant suffragette woman. Dressed in a striking purple garb and adorned with a necklace of Votes, she proudly holds aloft a Votes for Women flag. Her tongue sticks out in defiance, and as she pops up, she emits a slight squeak, adding a playful touch to this powerful symbol of the suffrage movement. The inside lid bears the inscription "Militant Souvenier," adding to its collectible value. The brown paper label on the exterior reads "Xmas 1913" and "Made in Germany," providing a glimpse into its history. Measuring at a height of 18cm, this rare and captivating piece of history stands as a testament to the determination and spirit of the suffragettes in their fight for women's rights.
