Mauchline Ware are wooden souvenirs manufactured in Scotland, primarily in factories in or near Mauchline and predominantly made of sycamore. The items have various finishes in a large variety of applications. Most Mauchline Ware products have transfers or photographs of popular tourist locations. There were also finishes with tartan, fern and black lacquer.     

On offer here is a rarer honey-toned wooden money box or savings bank. It would have been a sweet little Victorian souvenir that you would have purchased on your travels in Scotland.   

This little money box takes the form of a little clock that you might have on your beside table or a mantlepiece. The money box has a slot in the top for you to pop little coins in for safe-keeping. When you need to access the money inside you could do this via the aperture on the box. The aperture is covered by a fitted wooden baton. You press this at the top and the swings up on a pivot. You then can shake out some coins.

The box is in good condition with no nasty cracks or chips. There are some little signs of use which is commensurate with age - the little baton at the back obviously has been pressed to empty the contents quite a lot over the last 100 years. I have taken lots of images for your inspection. 

Measurements: The height of the clock is 4 1/2 inches. The width is 3 inches and the depth is 2 3/4 inches. 

We will post to you with Royal Mail Recorded postage - this will be applied to your order at the checkout. 

HISTORY: Mauchline Wares are Scottish wooden items which date from about the 1880s - until the 1900s. They are generally wooden souvenirs and giftware - made of fruitwood and decorated with black transfer designs. The scenes are usually of landmarks and popular towns - and spots favoured by tourists. They were very popular in their day and many pieces were exported globally.

The centre of the Mauchline Ware industry is the small village of Mauchline - which is located 11 miles inland from the Scottish coastal resort of Ayr. At its peak over 400 people were involved in the manufacture of these small (but always beautifully made) wooden souvenirs. Similar products were also made in Lanark - but most of the pieces are known by the generic name of Mauchline Ware.
