Product description
Eye-catching vintage brass coin-slot wall box stamped MINI PATENT. Solid single-piece brass body with a coin slot, sliding knob and front keyhole visible; raised lettering gives clear instructions in English and Afrikaans. The metal shows an attractive aged patina, surface scratches, small dents and areas of residue on the back from prior mounting—great vintage character for display.
