Jewish National Fund Donation Box – "Blue Box" – 1930s or 1940s
Jewish National Fund donation box with a map of Palestine. Palestine, [late 1930s or 1940s].
This donation box, of the Zion model, on which the map of Palestine, without the Negev region, is printed, is large, and intended for use by public institutions and conferences where funds were raised for the JNF. A handle and hanger for hanging were placed on the back in order to make the public use of the box more efficient. This particular box has a design flaw: the base containing the lock was placed at the top of the box, while the top, containing the opening for the insertion of coins, was placed at the bottom.
Approx. 12.5 x 17.5 x 7.5 cm. Good–fair condition. The paint is damaged. Rust, dents, and scratches.
Literature: "Blue Box" by Shaul Ladani and Dotan Shulman. Jerusalem: JNF, 2014. 134 pp.
