This GEOBRA KdF Savers Bank was bought in 2006 from a private estate sale in Potsdam, Germany (former East German town near Berlin). The bank (spardose or sparkasse) was heavy with coins when purchased and a spring hook was used to pick the lock on the front door to open the bank. Amazingly and to what a huge surprise as the bank was full of old German coins with the dates ranging from 1937 to 1943. All the zinc and brass coins were in nice condition after being hidden away all those years and they had the German wartime eagle with swastika on them. Time had really stood still for this awesome discovery. There were a total of 64 coins that added up exactly to the 4 Reichsmarks and 60 Reichspfennig inside the bank as indicated on the MK-PFG window on the Bank. WOW !! Truly an awesome piece of history here especially the newest coins being dated 1943 and who knows what may have happened to the original owner of the bank or reason to stop saving for that KdF Wagen?
