1936 PORCELAYN OLYMPIC BELL MONEY BOX
This 1936 Porcelain Olympic Bell money box is an impressive and attractive piece, of high quality. It is made of fine, glazed porcelain, and depicts the German national eagle over the Olympic rings on one side, with the Brandenburg Gate (a symbol of Berlin) on the other side. Around the lower edge of this 1936 Porcelain Olympic Bell is raised lettering that reads, "1-16 August 1936 11. Olympische Spiele Berlin" with a German national swastika emblem. This money box still has its original metal lock in the bottom with closure and its original metal key! Mostly of the porcelain money boxes like this have the key missing!
The overall condition of this 1936 Porcelain Olympic Bell is excellent. It’s very clean, and has only one very tiny little chip, on the edge of the bell.
The size is approx 10x10 cm. The bell was made by the Porcelain company in Selb and is marked at the bottom: "Erzeugnis der Porzellanstadt Selb Bayer. Ostmark".
This is a handsome and not easy to find item that makes for an outstanding display piece.
