Mammy


Mammy was discovered in Munroe, Louisiana at a thrift shop whilst Sean and Diane were on a southern road trip. One of the objectives of this trip was to visit the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. An artifact of a bygone time, before political correctness and gollywogs were still allowed and Noddy wasn't gay. Mammy is a cast iron moneybox and is so cheerful and cuddly, we wish we had known her in real life.

Mammy was purchased with coins already rattling 'round in her innards - we wonder what age and origin they are?
