Mission Fundraising from days gone by

Andrew Metcalfe —

While fossicking around in an antique shop, a discovery was made of an old Anglican Missions Board collection box.

We will pass this onto Michael Hartfield (current CEO of Anglican Missions) when he attends Synod in September... but we were wondering if anyone out there could help date this for us?

Anglican Missions have looked into one of their historical articles “Anglican Missions history by Noel Derbyshire” and found: “From its inception until 1938, AMB’s offices were located in Bible House, 49 Balance Street”, so we presume this boz dates from the late 1930s onwards. 

If the box prompts a memory for you, let us know and we will add it to this article, and pass the information onto Anglican Missions for their archives.
