From Pirates to Bingo. Guess their secrets.

Hi, thanks for watching. Here is a little more info on todays money boxes. First, we look at our 🏴‍☠️ Pirate Money Box (Giftworks Ltd, Cheddar, BS27). Giftworks is a British giftware company based in Cheddar, Somerset. They were known in the late 1990s–2000s for novelty ceramics, figurines, and money banks sold in seaside shops, garden centres, and catalogues. Our Pirate is simply called Pirate, M/Bank — that’s printed on the box. “M/Bank” means money bank. The glossy black spherical shape decorated with a skull and crossbones wearing a red bandana. It’s a fun, cartoon-style pirate rather than a realistic one. it's made of glazed ceramic which gives it the spherical its glossy finish. Most examples like this from Giftworks date from around 2000–2010, when they released themed banks (football, pirate, animal, etc.) in the same round style. Current value: Around £8–£15 if unboxed and in good condition, or £15–£25 with its original box (as mine is). These were never mass luxury items, but boxed examples are becoming less common. So on to the second moneybox. 🎱 “MECCA – Good Luck 7” Money Box. This one was made for Mecca Bingo, the well-known UK bingo chain. The slogan “Come and play at our house” was used in their advertising in the early to mid-2000s. This is another spherical ceramic bank designed like a purple bingo or pool ball, with a “7” circle and repeating “GOOD LUCK” text. It was made as promotional item — They were usually given away as part of Mecca’s merchandise or as a prize for members, rather than sold widely in shops. I worked for Mecca four about 3 or 4 years from about 1996/7, And I have never seen one before, so it was probably around 2004–2010 based on the slogan and style. This one is also a glossy glazed ceramic. Current value: Usually £10–£20, though occasionally collectors of Mecca memorabilia or bingo-themed gifts might pay up to £25 for a pristine example. Unfortunately mine is not in prime condition so I won't get my hopes up. Together both of these are novelty ceramic spherical money banks from the same design trend that ran through the 2000s — glossy ball shapes with themed prints (pirate, football, bingo, etc.). They were part of the giftware boom of that era, where companies like Giftworks, Leonardo, and Xpressions sold bright, fun, affordable items meant for casual collectors and gift buyers. My Pirate M/Bank having its original box adds a little more collector appeal, and both are in nice glossy condition, which helps their display and value. Sadly I can't tell you who the Mecca ball is made by. I really have no idea. Thanks for staying to the end. Hope you enjoyed todays video. I have also got a Mecca piggybank. We can come back to that another day. I have really enjoyed your company. So till next time. Stay safe and take care. XxPxX ❤️ Xx. .
