The back of each one says “FOUNDED IN 1211 OF EARLY GOTHIC STYLE. THE BELFRY WAS BUILT IN 1405 AFTER A FIRE. THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE GREAT EUROPEAN WAR

1914 - 1916 LEFT ONLY THE MAIN PORTALS AND SIDE WALLS STANDING”.

All of the banks and items I currently have listed came from one family that travelled the world collecting these items from the 1960’s to the 1990’s. They were all well cared for and in excellent shape overall.

These are in excellent overall shape with general wear from age and use.
