3.) 7 X 8.75 X 9" Prussian Pickelhaube converted to piggy bank. Leather shell with brass spike, brim, and brow plate featuring the Eagle seal of Prussia with the slogan MITT GOTT FUR KOENIG UND VATERLAND embossed into it. Lacks chinstrap. A tin plate has been roughly cut and installed to the interior with a hatch permitting access. Cut through leather forward of the spike for inserting coin.
