Is that meant to be mounted in between studs in the wall? That could be pretty cool to have a safe behind a picture like the bad guys in the movies.

A safe hidden behind a picture frame! Stack those gold and silver vertically.
For $5, I need to visit garage sales...

I thought it would go between floor joists. Like DeNiro's safe in Casino. Looks like a nice find for $5.

I am going to clean it up a little and see if I can locate a manufacturer's name.
YES...the key came with it.
I imagine this could be mounted in the wall or the floor. Drill a couple holes through the sides to run a screw or ten through...and you are set.
For some reason, I like the krinkle finish that was popular. I have a Montgomery Wards safe that has the same finish.

Cleaned up and inspected the infamous "box". No tag indicating the manufacturer. But, there are two tiny holes on the inside of the lid that looks like the spot for a tag to have been placed.
Now, I will need to decide what to do with this.

I have an old safe that's not too different from yours. It still has the original letter that came with the safe, saying Thanks for Buying, etc. It describes the construction of the safe, most notably containing sheets of asbestos  sandwiched inside the steel walls. I personally wouldn't drill such a nice safe anyway, but the possibility of kicking up asbestos powder would definitely make me stop. -wheatiefan |

Use that as a decoy safe. The hinges are on the outside. Oops!

I agree, a hammer or crowbar would make quick work of it. It's a cool safe but I wouldn't put anything in there that I couldn't live without. Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

Mount it in the wall behind a picture. Unless you are in a mansion I doubt the common meth head would bother looking there. They want to grab things in the open and quick. Just don't tell anyone you have it or where it is.

I'd wall mount that as well, in a heartbeat.
It's not so valueable that some screws in it will hurt anything.
Mount it behind a mirror or picture. That is where it will get it's security.
Certainly won't come from standing alone. It can be carried, and the hinges are vulnerable.
