What is the name of a piggy bank in any foreign language? |
|
Do you do research on piggy banks and if so are you willing to tell me I do. I can try identifying your piggy bank, but then I need a picture of your piggy bank. Mail to gd@piggybanks.nl. |
|
Is it possible to identify the exact age of my piggy bank? Yes, but only roughly. Identifiers are: factory or potters hallmarks, the type of glaze, the form (the mould has a traceable history), type of clay (for experts only), text or pictures on the piggy bank, the piggybank in your family (as in “your great-grandmother got it at the age of 6 from her mother”), where was it bought (looks stupid, but it is sometimes a perfect clue!). |
|
Do you buy and sell piggy banks? Yes, I buy and sell. |
