On offer is a scarce Welsh Ynysybwl Industrial Co Operative Society Ltd home safe moneybox, a collectable example of early 20th-century savings culture. Co-operative societies across the UK issued these locked savings boxes to encourage members to deposit money regularly; the key was kept by the society, meaning customers had to return to have the box opened. While banks such as Lloyds produced similar boxes, examples from Welsh co-ops are notably less common. This moneybox shows age-related surface wear and retains its original painted label. The key is not present, as intended for such issues. It measures approximately 3.5 inches long, 2 inches wide and 2.5 inches tall.

A desirable and rarely encountered Welsh co-operative moneybox with strong social-history interest.
