EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Bill Pink: A WWI Tank-Shaped Glazed Money Box with a Humorous Inscription This charming and nostalgic Old Bill Pink glazed money box, in the form of a World War I tank, is a delightful addition to any home or office. The tank, adorned with intricate details and a vibrant pink glaze, is a tribute to the military history of the early 20th century. The tank's turret is inscribed with the witty phrase "Where's that blinkin' Kaiser?" - a reference to the famous cartoon character Old Bill, created by British satirical artist and illustrator, Bruce Bairnsfather. Old Bill was a popular character in Bairnsfather's comic strips, which were published in newspapers and magazines during the First World War. The character, a grizzled British soldier, was known for his humorous and irreverent take on the harsh realities of trench warfare. The phrase "Where's that blinkin' Kaiser?" was a common expression used by soldiers, reflecting their frustration and determination to find and defeat their enemy. This money box is a wonderful piece of wartime memorabilia, combining history, humor, and functionality. The slot at the back allows users to deposit their coins, making it a fun and interactive way to save money. The tank's design, with its soldier's helmet and army insignia, adds to its military theme, making it a unique and intriguing conversation starter. Overall, this Old Bill Pink glazed money box is a must-have for anyone with an interest in military history, British humor, or just a love for quirky and collectible items.
