NOTES Although I'm not 100% certain, I think this money box is supposed to be a Pye model CW17 which was released towards the end of 1956. Pye were amongst the first TV manufacturers to promote the use of printed circuit assemblies, with the CW17 not only being amongst their first such sets but it also won a design award.
Advert highlighting design award and printed circuit reliability.
Pye model CS17 / CW17
(with optional legs).		 Advertisment from June 1957.
