My previous post asking if any readers have any photos for 'Take A Space Toy To Work Day' turned up a super looking flying saucer money box from mega collector, contributor and all round good friend of the Blog, Arto.
He writes,
"Your blog post was aptly timed for me, since as a
matter of fact I *did* have a space toy with me at work today as well - for a
simple fact that it came my way today! Found it during lunch break
while browsing one of the local thrift shops I like to frequent every now and
then. Formerly unknown money box in the shape of a fancy space vehicle. Not too
old, perhaps 1980's-90's or even more recent, but the design is a killer! It was
made by a company TGP in Norway, but I could not find anything more about this
particular model for now.
The diameter of the beast is 17 cm.
The hole for inserting coins is at the back.
Sending this to you guys in case the design brings up any thoughts about influences that went into
it".
Well, anyone come across this little beauty or got any ideas about it?
And don't forget, any other photos for 'Take A Space Toy To Work Day' are always welcome.
