Photo Archive- Charity Collection Boxes.

As I do not own any charity collection boxes I take pictures of them instead. I don’t know what it is about them I like. The mournful plastic dogs wheeled out day after day to collect coins, the cheerful Noddy in his car making it alright until you realise you still have arthritis.

My favourite one was outside the post office when I was kid. It was of a blind child holding a money box. For years he was stationed by the pick and mix and then one day he vanished. If you go HERE you can see one just like him. Apparently they are big business in collector world. Go HERE and see.
